Sand and Marble Investigation
Trial Height Above Bucket (centimeters) Observations
1
5
very shallow pit in sand
2
15
deep pit in sand
Why does the marble in trial 2 make a deeper pit?
O A. The marble travels a longer distance, so it has less energy
OB. The marble is in the air longer, so it has more time to travel.
Ос
The marble is higher above the sand, so it takes longer to hit the sand.
D. The marble has more distance to build up speed, so it has more energy.
