A scatter plot would best illustrate the relationship between kinetic energy and the mass of an object. This is because the relationship between these two variables is typically continuous, and a scatter plot can effectively show how the kinetic energy changes as the mass changes. In addition, it allows for the visualization of any correlation or trend between the variables. In the formula for kinetic energy, \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), kinetic energy increases with mass for a given velocity, which can be well represented in a scatter plot.
