  1. A toy car moved 3 m/s in Trial A and 8 m/s in Trial B. Which claim fits the evidence?

    • speed does not affect motion energy
    • both trials must transfer no energy
    • the faster toy car has more energy of motion
    • the slower trial has more energy of motion

  2. A soccer ball rolls toward a target. What prediction follows from the speed data?

    • the slower object will always move the target farther
    • the target will move only if the object is stopped
    • speed cannot be used to predict the collision
    • the faster ball will make the cone slide farther

  3. When the moving rubber ball hits another object, what happens to energy?

    • the stopped object gives all its energy to the moving object first
    • energy transfers from the ball to the target
    • only light energy can transfer during a collision
    • energy disappears instead of moving

  4. Which evidence best supports the claim "the faster marble has more energy of motion"?

    • Trial B was faster than Trial A for the same marble.
    • The cup was part of the test.
    • Trial A happened first.
    • The object had a name.

  5. Which fair test would compare energy of motion for the cart?

    • use the same object at different speeds and measure how far the target moves
    • change the object, ramp, target, and surface all at once
    • measure color instead of motion
    • choose the result before testing

  6. A soccer ball moved 4 m/s in Trial A and 9 m/s in Trial B. Which claim fits the evidence?

    • the faster soccer ball has more energy of motion
    • speed does not affect motion energy
    • the slower trial has more energy of motion
    • both trials must transfer no energy

  7. A cart rolls toward a target. What prediction follows from the speed data?

    • the slower object will always move the target farther
    • speed cannot be used to predict the collision
    • the faster cart will push the cup farther
    • the target will move only if the object is stopped

  8. When the moving soccer ball hits another object, what happens to energy?

    • only light energy can transfer during a collision
    • the stopped object gives all its energy to the moving object first
    • energy transfers from the ball to the cone
    • energy disappears instead of moving

  9. Which evidence best supports the claim "the faster toy car has more energy of motion"?

    • Trial B was faster than Trial A for the same toy car.
    • The object had a name.
    • Trial A happened first.
    • The cup was part of the test.

  10. Which fair test would compare energy of motion for the toy car?

    • measure color instead of motion
    • change the object, ramp, target, and surface all at once
    • use the same object at different speeds and measure how far the target moves
    • choose the result before testing
