When scientists have a question, they form a hypothesis, <em>which</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>an</em><em> </em><em>idea</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>may</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>proved</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>disproved</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>an</em><em> </em><em>experiment</em><em>.</em>
A hypothesis is a presumed statement for the cause of natural event, process or phenomena. A hypothesis is developed through assumption. A hypothesis can be tested using experimental procedure in which the data obtain will state whether the stated hypothesis is true or false.
After asking a question related to the natural event, process or phenomena the scientists can frame a hypothesis. It is an idea which can be proved or disproved by the experiment.
To solve for this problem, you have to use the second kinematic equation and set the height equal to each other. Because the heights are equal, 1/2GETE^2 = 1/2GMTM^2. Rearrange the equation and you'll get the answer
