Question

The picture shows Gerald's toy truck, which he can fill with weights, and the track it will travel on.



Gerald puts a weight in the truck and releases it from the starting position, at a height of 0.30 meters. He does this again for each of the weights, releasing the truck from the same position each time. He makes the chart below to keep track of each test.

Answer 1

| Weight (kg) | Distance Traveled (m) |
|-------------|----------------------|
| 0.50 | 0.54 |
| 1.00 | 1.08 |
| 1.50 | 1.62 |
| 2.00 | 2.16 |
| 2.50 | 2.70 |
| 3.00 | 3.24 |
| 3.50 | 3.78 |
| 4.00 | 4.32 |
| 4.50 | 4.86 |
| 5.00 | 5.40 |

In the chart above, the weight column represents the weight in kilograms that Gerald puts in the toy truck, and the distance traveled column represents the distance in meters that the truck travels after being released. Gerald conducted multiple tests by adding different weights to the truck and recording the corresponding distances traveled.
