Organizing data
3
Students use graphical displays to organize the following given data:
4
Mass of the object.1111010110001011111000013
5
Speed of the object.1111000110001011111000012
6
Kinetic energy of the object.000000000000000000000000
7
Students organize the data in a way that facilitates analysis and interpretation.1011000110001011111000011

Identifying Relationships
9
Using the graphical display, students identify that kinetic energy:
10
Increases if either the mass or the speed of the object increases or if both increase.001100000000000001100004
11
Decreases if either the mass or the speed of the object decreases or if both decrease.000000000000000000000000
12
Interpreting data
13
Using the analyzed data, students describe:
14
The relationship between kinetic energy and mass as a linear proportional relationship (KE m) in which the kinetic energy doubles as the mass of the object doubles.000000000000000000100001
15
The relationship between kinetic energy and mass as a linear proportional relationship (KE m) in which the kinetic energy halves as the mass of the object halves.000000000000000000000000
16
The relationship between kinetic energy and speed as a nonlinear (square) proportional relationship (KE v2) in which the kinetic energy quadruples as the speed of the object doubles. 000000000000000000100001
17
The relationship between kinetic energy and speed as a nonlinear (square) proportional relationship (KE ∝ v2) in which the kinetic energy decreases by a factor of four as the speed of the object is cut in half.000000000000000000000000
