_______. 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. ___________.
The ball with lower mass made the cup travel 80cm.
The ball with larger mass made the cup travel 279.5cm.
The hypothesis predicted if a ball with higher mass is used, that ball's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be greater as compared to the kinetic energy of the ball with the lower mass. The kinetic energy of each ball was used to move the cup at the bottom of the ramp. The data showed that the ball with lower mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of 80cm. The data showed that the ball with a higher mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of 279.5cm. This means using a ball with an increased mass will result in a higher kinetic energy. The hypothesis was confirmed.
The hypothesis predicted if a ball with higher mass is used, that ball's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be greater as compared to the kinetic energy of the ball with the lower mass. The kinetic energy of each ball was used to measure the distance the cup traveled at the bottom of the ramp.
The data showed that the ball with lower mass moved the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of 80cm.
On the other hand, the data showed that the ball with higher mass moved the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of 279.5cm.
This means using a ball with an increased mass resulted in a greater kinetic energy.
Based on the data, the hypothesis was supported.
To complete the blanks in the statement and understand the experiment, we first need to define some terms and concepts.
1. Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. It depends on the mass and velocity of the object. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.
2. Hypothesis: A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction that proposes a possible explanation for a phenomenon. In this case, the hypothesis predicts the relationship between the mass of the ball and its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.
Now, let's fill in the blanks:
1. The hypothesis predicted if a ball with higher mass is used, that ball's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be _______.
To find the answer, we compare the kinetic energy of the ball with higher mass to the kinetic energy of the ball with lower mass. We can calculate the kinetic energy of both balls using the formula KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2. Since the blanks are not specified, we cannot determine if the kinetic energy will be higher, lower, or the same for the ball with higher mass.
2. The kinetic energy of each ball was used to _______.
The blanks here are not clear, so we cannot determine the intended meaning or answer.
3. The data showed that the ball with lower mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of _______.
According to the information provided, the ball with lower mass made the cup travel 80cm. Therefore, the answer is 80cm.
4. The data showed that the ball with a higher mass would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of _______.
Based on the information given, the ball with larger mass made the cup travel 279.5cm. Therefore, the answer is 279.5cm.
5. This means using a ball with an increased mass will result in _______ in kinetic energy.
To determine the effect of increased mass on kinetic energy, we need to compare the kinetic energies of the two balls. Since the blanks are not specified, we cannot determine if the increased mass will result in an increase, decrease, or the same kinetic energy.
6. The hypothesis was _______.
The hypothesis is not stated in the question, so we cannot fill in this blank.
