In this experiment, a ball rolls down a hill and hits a cup at the bottom. The hypothesis predicted if a ball with higher mass is used, that ball's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be
as compared to the kinetic energy of the ball with the lower mass. The kinetic energy of each ball was used to
. The data showed that the ball with lower mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of
. The data showed that the ball with a higher mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of
. This means using a ball with an increased mass will result in
in kinetic energy. The hypothesis was
.
Question 3
Extension Question for Experiment 1(2 points)
Using a ball with a different mass changed the

in order to compare the energy levels of the two different balls at the bottom of the ramp.
