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.

The hypothesis indicates that as an object's speed increases, its kinetic energy also increases due to the squared relationship between speed and kinetic energy. Using the formula KE = 1/2 mv², it's evident that speed significantly affects kinetic energy. An example illustrates that doubling speed leads to quadrupling kinetic energy. ;
