Test I. Read the given situation and then answer the questions that follow.
Encircle the letter of the best answer.
Situation: A group of first year students wanted to know if the amount of force needed to
pry a rock from the ground changes as the length of the lever is increased. The following
table shows the results of the experiment.

1. Which question answer the objective of this investigation?

a. Will the force needed to pry the rock from the ground change when the levers
length is increased?
b. Can the weight or mass of an object influence the length of the lever needed to
move it?
c. How does the length of a lever influence each trial in the experiment?
d. Will the lever change the weight or mass of an object it is moving when its
length is changed?
2. What is the dependent variable in the experiment?
a. The mass or weight of the rock c. The position of the rock
b. The length of the lever
d. The force needed to lift the rock
3. Which is the independent variable?
a. The mass or weight of the rock c. The position of the rock
b. The length of the lever
d. The force needed to lift the rock
4. Which should be made a control variable?
a. The mass or weight of the rock c. The position of the rock
b. The length of the lever
d. The force needed to lift the rock
5. Which is the most fitting hypothesis for this investigation?
a. The mass or weight of the rock will influence the length of the lever needed to
move it.
b. The position of the rock will influence the force needed to move it.
c. The force needed to lift the rock will change when the length of the lever is
changed?
d. The force needed to lift the rock is dependent only on the mass or weight of the
rock.
6. Which is the best conclusion?
a. A longer lever makes the work easier since only a small amount of force is
needed to move the rock.
b. A longer lever makes the work difficult because the rocks weight changes.
c. A longer lever makes the load lighter because the rocks weight or mass
changes.
d. A longer lever decreases the weight or mass of the rock because of its force.
7. In which situation can the conclusion be applied?
a. Use tools with longer handles; they will make the work easier.
b. To change the weight or mass of objects, tools with longer handles should be
used.

c. Both a and b
d. Neither a nor b
8. Go back to the Data Chart. What does it say about the results?
a. High in precision
c. Average precision
b. Low in precision
d. Data is insufficient
9. Which laboratory tool do you think is most appropriate for this experiment?
a. The triple beam balance to get the mass of the rock
b. The platform balance to get the weight of the rock
c. The meter stick to get the length of the lever
d. None of the above
10.
Why was there a need to do three trials?
a. To make sure that the rock is in the right place
b. To make sure that the lever works
c. To make sure that the data is reliable
d. To make sure that the lever used is correct
