Question
Aiden and Natalie each set the arm length of their catapults to 55 centimeters, which statement
s true?
O Aiden's catapult will launch the tennis ball farther than Natalie's catapult will.
Stm
Both Aiden's and Natalie's catapults will launch the tennis ball the same horizontal
distance.
O Natalie's catapult will launch the tennis ball farther than Aiden's catapult will.
There is not enough information to determine whose tennis ball will launch farther at this
arm length.

Answer 1

The distance a tennis ball launched from a catapult travels relies on multiple factors and cannot be determined by the arm length alone; more information is required to determine whose catapult will launch the ball farther. The correct answer is option: D) There is not enough information to determine whose tennis ball will launch farther at this arm length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question "Aiden and Natalie each set the arm length of their catapults to 55 centimeters, which statement is true?" cannot be conclusively answered with the information given. The distance a tennis ball launched from a catapult would travel depends on several factors, including the initial velocity, the angle of launch, the tension in the catapult's arm, and air resistance, not just the arm length.

Without more information about these variables, it is not possible to determine whose catapult will launch the ball farther, so the correct statement is that there is not enough information to determine whose tennis ball will launch farther at this arm length.
