Question

An important step in science is supporting a theory or

idea with data. The questions we ask help determine the
type of data we collect.
In the warm up, you reviewed the equation to calculate
kinetic energy. What question could you ask about kinetic
energy which will include the variables that affect it?

Answer 1

A question that could be asked about kinetic energy which will include the variables that affect it is:

"How does the mass and velocity of an object affect its kinetic energy?"

This question directly addresses the variables that affect kinetic energy, which are mass and velocity. By collecting data on the mass and velocity of different objects, we can calculate their kinetic energy and determine how these variables affect it.
