Juliet wants to significantly increase the amount of kinetic energy of her bowling ball in order to increase her chances of getting a strike. Which of the following would increase the ball's kinetic energy the most?

a
increasing the speed at which she throws the ball
b
decreasing the speed at which she throws the ball
c
changing to a ball with more mass
d
she cannot increase the kinetic energy

a) Increasing the speed at which she throws the ball would increase the ball's kinetic energy the most, according to the formula for kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 mv^2), where m is mass and v is velocity.
