Question 1 of 3

Sam pushes a toy car across a mat. With a gentle push the car rolls 2 squares. With a hard push the car rolls 5 squares. Which push makes the car go faster?

Question 2 of 3

Sam built a short ramp and placed a small ball at the top. He pushed the ball down the ramp and timed how long it took to reach the bottom. On a flat floor, the ball took 4 seconds to travel the same distance. On the ramp, the ball took 2 seconds. Based on this data, did Sam’s ramp design solution work to change the speed of the ball?

Question 3 of 3

Sam tried two ramps to see which one makes his ball roll farther. When he used the low ramp, the ball rolled only a short distance. When he used the high ramp, the ball rolled a long distance. Which ramp made the ball roll farther?
