The most reliable experiment to test how far Tony's toy car will travel when released down the ramp is:
an experiment that measures the distances that his toy car travels in many repeated trials.
This approach ensures that the results are specific to Tony's toy car and not influenced by variations in the design or condition of different toy cars. Additionally, conducting many repeated trials helps to account for any variability in the results, which could be due to small differences in how the car is released, slight changes in the surface of the ramp, or other environmental factors. By averaging the results of many trials, Tony will obtain a more accurate measure of the average distance his toy car will travel when released down the ramp.
