Diagram shows an experiment to study the effect of mass on the time taken

for the object to stop oscillating. Wooden blocks A, B and C are pushed
simultaneously from a stationary position with equal force.

The time taken for the wooden blocks to stop oscillating is recorded in table.
Wooden block Mass (g) Time taken to stop oscillating
(second)
A 200 20
B 400
C 600 60

a) State one inference for this experiment

___________________________________________________________

b) Predict the time taken for wooden block B to stop.

___________________________________________________________

c) State the variable of the experiment.

i) Manipulated variable: ______________________________
ii) Responding variable: _______________________________

d) Predict the time taken for wooden block C to stop if the length of string
is shortened.
________________________________
1. Time taken to stop
oscillating for the object
with larger mass is longer
because the inertia is
larger.
2. 40 seconds
3. I) Mass of wooden block
ii)time of oscillation

4. Any value between 40 – 50

seconds.
