Formulating a Hypothesis: Part II

Now you will focus on a second hypothesis. This
hypothesis can be very similar to the first, but this time
you want to focus only on the second variable in
question, speed. What could be a hypothesis that would
illustrate the relationship between speed and kinetic
energy? Use the format of "if.. then... because..." when
writing your hypothesis.
If we have a ball rolling its speed could determine the amount of
kinetic energy in it while in movement

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

m is mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

It is clear from the above relation that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the product of mass and velocity.

The hypothesis can be :

If the speed of the object increased then its kinetic energy increase because kinetic energy is directly proportional to its speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :


E=(1)/(2)mv^2

m is mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

It is clear from the above relation that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the product of mass and velocity.

The hypothesis can be :

If the speed of the object increased then its kinetic energy increase because kinetic energy is directly proportional to ist speed.
