1. In T-ball, batters hit a ball that is placed on a T-shaped stand. Batter A hits the
ball by swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder. Batter B hits the
ball with the bat directly behind it. In one or two sentences, create and justify a
claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.
Batter B will hit the ball with more force because the bat is behind Batter B
allowing for more time to build up momentum therefore more force so the ball
would go a greater distance

Students are using the experimental setup shown in the image in which the two
ends of a string are attached to a car and to a hanger. The students conducted
three trials in which they placed metal discs on the hanger to manipulate the
force applied to the car. As a result, the car accelerates along the table while two
probes collect motion data.
On the fourth trial of this experiment, a student placed some discs on the car by
mistake. In 1-2 sentences, explain how this mistake will affect the graphs
produced by the computer.
4. A musician hits a drum with a drumstick. In three to four sentences, explain the
collision forces between the drum and drumstick.
Hitting the drum makes the drum deform, absorbing the impact energy the
drumstick hit it with, making it vibrate rapidly, producing sound waves in the air.
As the drumhead vibrates, it pushes the drumstick away, allowing it to bounce
back.
