Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. Thinking only about the first part of the question, mass, what might be a hypothesis that would illustrate the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?
Answers
Answer:
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
Explanation:
The general expression of this relation is:
The kinetic energy of a “massive” object with mass m is KE = mv²/2 or expressed in its general form as E = ∆p*v/2. It means: the kinetic energy of an object is the product of the momentum change and the average rate of this change.
Answer:
Sample Response: If the mass of an object increases, then its kinetic energy will increase proportionally because mass and kinetic energy have a linear relationship when graphed.
