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 the speed of an object increases, then its kinetic energy will also increase because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed of an object.
