. Bill's science teacher asked him to perform an experiment to see if an object's shape affects its motion. Which of the following would be the best experiment for Bill to perform? a Apply the same amount of force to balls of different masses. b Apply different amounts of force to the same ball. c Apply the same amount of force to a ball, cube, and pyramid, each of the same mass. d Apply the same amount of force to a ball, cube, and pyramid, each of a different mass.

C. This is the best experiment because you have controlled all other variables to the one you are testing, which is the shape. Altering the force applied or the mass of the object would change the acceleration of the object, making the effects that changing the shape has harder to see.
