Suppose you have made the following hypothesis:

The greater the height from which you drop a ball, the faster the ball will be traveling when it hits the ground because gravity has more time to speed it up.
If you observed that two identical balls, dropped from the same height, each reached the ground with a speed of 3 m/s, does that evidence support the hypothesis?
A. Yes, the evidence supports the hypothesis.
B. No, the evidence contradicts the hypothesis.
C. The evidence is not related to the hypothesis.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. the evidence is not related to the hypothesis.

Explanation:

The given experiment is not related to the hypothesis as the hypothesis is that with the increase in the height the speed of traveling of ball increases due to gravity. According to the hypothesis the gravity has more time to speed the ball.

The given experiment has no independent variable that can explain or test the effect of gravity on the balls because both balls dropped from the same height.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. the evidence is not related to the hypothesis.
