Question

What is the difference between Claire’s test of the collision scene where Vehicle 2 fell off the cliff and the film, Iceworld Revenge, where it did not?*
Which claim is more convincing?

Claim 1: The vehicles in Iceworld Revenge had different masses; in Claire’s test, the vehicles had the same mass.

Claim 2: The friction of the surface that was used in Iceworld Revenge was different from the friction of the surface in Claire’s test.

Did the Science Seminar cause your thinking about the claims to change? Explain.

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because,  but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.
