Question

In an experiment, a student measures the force acting on a toy car and the toy car’s acceleration. Based the data collected a conclusion was drawn by the student that the amount of force applied affects acceleration. What reasoning led to the interpretation of the data and the conclusion?

A) As distance increases, the rate acceleration increases. As distance increases, the rate acceleration increases.


B) As distance increases, the rate acceleration decreases. As distance increases, the rate acceleration decreases.


C) As force increases, the rate acceleration increases. As force increases, the rate acceleration increases.


D) As force increases, the rate acceleration decreases. As force increases, the rate acceleration decreases.

Answer 1

D)As force increases, the rate acceleration decreases. As force increases, the rate acceleration decreases.

Answer 2

C) As force increases, the rate acceleration increases. As force increases, the rate acceleration increases.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the acceleration it experiences. This means that if you apply more force to an object, it will accelerate more quickly. Conversely, if you apply less force to an object, it will accelerate more slowly.

So in this case, if the student measured an increase in force and an increase in acceleration, it is reasonable to conclude that the amount of force applied affects the acceleration of the toy car. This is the interpretation of the data that led to the conclusion.
