Passage IV
Some students conducted experiments using different brands of adhesive tape, one kind each of paper and plastic, a board, and a spring scale.
Experiment 1
A student stuck one end of a piece of tape onto the edge of a board that was wrapped with paper. The other end of the tape was clamped to a spring scale, as shown in Figure 1.
While one student held the board, a second student pulled the spring scale until the tape came off the paper wrapping; a third student recorded the force in newtons, N, indicated on the spring scale at the moment the tape came off the paper wrapping.
The procedure was repeated for 3 different brands of tape; each brand of tape came in many different widths, of which 2 or 3 were tested. The results are shown in Table 1.
Experiment 2
The students performed an experiment similar to Experiment 1, except that the paper wrapping was replaced by a plastic wrapping. The results are shown in Table 2.
19. The results of the 2 experiments support the conclusion that, for a given brand of tape, as the tape’s width increases, the force required to remove the tape from a given wrapping:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Just look at any brand of tape in table 1 or table 2. For example, look at Tape brand X in table 1, as the width increases, the force increases
