Question

does the size of a car engine affect the acceleration?
identifying components of cer
use the following information to answer the question about
claim, evidence, and reasoning.
experiment:
the engine size of a car is measured in cylinders. four cars with
different engine sizes, but the same mass, are accelerated from
rest. the number of seconds required to reach 60 mph is
measured for each car.
data table:
which of the following would be an evidence statement
for a cer?
the data shows that as the engine size increases, the acceleration time
decreases.
the data shows that as the engine size increases, the acceleration time
increases.
the data shows that as the engine size decreases, the acceleration time
decreases.

Explanation:

Evidence in CER (Claim - Evidence - Reasoning) is data or facts from an experiment. Looking at the data table: when engine size (cylinders) is 3, time is 12 s; when it's 4, time is 10 s; when 6, 8 s; when 8, 5 s. As engine size (cylinders) increases (3→4→6→8), the time to reach 60 mph (acceleration time) decreases (12→10→8→5).

Answer:

The data shows that as the engine size increases, the acceleration time decreases.
