Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.57 Plan a Fair Collision Test skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which procedure controls all other variables best for a rigorous test of force-probe sampling rate?

AChange force-probe sampling rate, but let different students measure measured peak force during collision in different ways.

BChange only force-probe sampling rate; keep the same cart mass, the same incoming speed, and the same bumper material the same; measure measured peak force during collision with photogate timing marks; do 5 trials per setup to reduce random error.

CVary force-probe sampling rate, but switch to a different track/table for some trials.

DVary force-probe sampling rate, but restart trials until you get a 'good' run.

Solution & Explanation:A rigorous fair test isolates force-probe sampling rate while holding the same cart mass, the same incoming speed, and the same bumper material constant. It verifies initial conditions, uses consistent (calibrated) measurements of measured peak force during collision, repeats trials, and considers uncertainty/bias.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which plan makes the test most fair for a rigorous test of spacing between objects?

AHold the same masses, the same surface, and the same initial speed constant and change only spacing between objects. Measure how far the last object moves with a track with centimeter marks and do 5 trials per setup to reduce random error.

BChange spacing between objects and also change the surface material during the test.

CTry different values of spacing between objects, but start the objects with different pushes each time.

DChange spacing between objects, but move the measuring start line each trial.

Solution & Explanation:A rigorous fair test isolates spacing between objects while holding the same masses, the same surface, and the same initial speed constant. It verifies initial conditions, uses consistent (calibrated) measurements of how far the last object moves, repeats trials, and considers uncertainty/bias.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which plan makes the test most fair for a rigorous test of measurement resolution?

AVary only measurement resolution. Keep the same collision, the same reference marks, and consistent analysis steps constant. Measure uncertainty in rebound speed using a motion sensor, then run 4 trials for each setup and use the mean.

BChange measurement resolution, but move the measuring start line each trial.

CTest measurement resolution, but sometimes release by hand and sometimes use a ramp.

Drun trials until the data matches the prediction, then stop.

Solution & Explanation:A rigorous fair test isolates measurement resolution while holding the same collision, the same reference marks, and consistent analysis steps constant. It verifies initial conditions, uses consistent (calibrated) measurements of uncertainty in rebound speed, repeats trials, and considers uncertainty/bias.
