To visually represent the hypothesis that as the mass of the cupcake holder increases, its velocity after falling 1 meter decreases, you would likely draw a graph with the following axes:
- X-axis (horizontal): Mass of the cupcake holder (in grams or kilograms)
- Y-axis (vertical): Velocity after falling 1 meter (in meters per second)
Based on your hypothesis, you would expect to see a downward-sloping curve or line, meaning that as the mass increases (moving right along the X-axis), the velocity (upward movement on the Y-axis) decreases.
Here’s a basic description of how the graph would look:
- As you plot points for various masses, you'll notice that higher mass values correspond to lower velocity values, creating a negative correlation.
- The graph could take a linear or curved shape depending on how air resistance affects different masses; however, based on your hypothesis, a line sloping downward to the right would be appropriate.
In summary, the best sketch would show a downward-sloping line or curve that moves from the upper left towards the lower right of the graph.
