Two students drop an object into sand from a height of 1.5 meters. They record the depth of the hole made in the sand by each student’s object. What is the most likely explanation for the results?

Naveed’s object has less mass? im not sure but that one makes most sense.

You didn't say ANYTHING about the results. How can we conclude anything?

Is there an image that goes with this? it's probably mass but I cant be sure

1. Naveed’s object had greater kinetic energy.
2.Maddie’s object has a smaller width.
3.Naveed’s object has less mass.
4.Maddie’s object had a faster drop speed.
Answer
Maddie's object is 1.8 depth in in the sand (cm)
Navadeed's object is 4.0 depth in the sand (cm)

Without any data on the depths of the holes made by the objects of Naveed and Maddie, it is not possible to conclude the most likely explanation for the results. However, based on the given options, option 3 "Naveed's object has less mass" is the most likely explanation for the results, as an object with less mass exerts less force on the sand upon impact, causing a shallower hole.

Given that Maddie's object has a shallower depth in the sand than Naveed's object, it can be concluded that option 3 "Naveed's object has less mass" is incorrect. The most likely explanation for the results is option 1 "Naveed's object had greater kinetic energy." This is because an object with greater kinetic energy upon impact is able to exert more force on the sand, causing a deeper hole. As Naveed's object made a deeper hole, it likely had more kinetic energy than Maddie's object.
