Question

a student conducts four motion trials by placing and releasing a toy car at the top of a ramp constructed using textbooks and cardboard. he uses the same toy car for each trial and changes the height of the ramp each time. the student records the data in a table.
trial ramp height (cm) distance traveled (cm)
1 2 6
2 4 12
3 6 18
4 8 24
what conclusion can be made based on the data?
increasing the height of the ramp decreases the distance the toy car travels in all of the trials.
increasing the height of the ramp increases the distance the toy car travels in all of the trials.
increasing the height of the ramp has no impact on the distance the toy car travels in any of the trials.
increasing the height of the ramp increases the distance the toy car travels for half of the trials.

Explanation:

As the ramp height increases from 2 cm to 4 cm, 6 cm, and 8 cm, the distance traveled by the toy - car increases from 6 cm to 12 cm, 18 cm, and 24 cm respectively. This shows a direct relationship between ramp height and distance traveled.

Answer:

Increasing the height of the ramp increases the distance the toy car travels in all of the trials.
