Question

Scientists conducted an experiment to show whether the ability to see an object affects a person's idea of the mass of the object. They used the following procedure: Obtain two cardboard boxes of different sizes. Place rocks in each box so that both boxes have the same mass. Close each box and tie a string to it so that participants lift each box using the string. Blindfold half of the participants in the experiment. Ask participants to lift each box using the string and report which one they think has more mass. Record results. The table shows the results of the experiment

Answer 1

Answer: Visual information makes them think the larger box has more mass.
