Jill wants to investigate how objects move and see if she can make correct predictions. She knows she will have to observe the object's motion. She wants to see how high different bouncy balls will go on the same surface.

If Jill performs the fourth trial, what prediction can be made about "Ball 3"?

Ashley wants to investigate how objects move and see if she can make correct predictions. She knows she will have to observe the object's motion. She wants to see which surface material will allow a toy car to get down a ramp in the least amount of time. She tests the car on wood, plastic, carpet, and grass.

Using the collected data, which answer choice states a pattern that can be identified regarding the car's motion?

A ball is released at the top of a curved ramp, as seen below. Each time the ball reaches the opposite side, it is measured and recorded. Based on the patterns in the data, what would the ball's measurement be on the fifth roll?
