Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer:- If speed of a body increases or decreases then the kinetic energy of body increases or decreases vice-versa.

Step-to-step-explanation:-

The kinetic energy and square of speed are directly proportional.

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :-

$K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$,where v is the speed of the object.

Since both are directly proportional, therefore the hypothesis that would illustrate the relationship between speed and kinetic energy is given by :-

" If speed of a body increases or decreases then the kinetic energy of body increases or decreases vice-versa."

Answer 2

I believe that if kinetic energy were to decrease, then the speed would decrease because the more kinetic energy an object has, the more speed an object has.
