In the context of a bobsled team's kinetic energy being graphed as a parabolic (U-Shaped) curve, the dependent variable illustrated by the graph would be **velocity (m/s)**.
Kinetic energy is represented by the equation:
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]
where \( KE \) stands for kinetic energy, \( m \) represents mass, and \( v \) is velocity. In this equation, as velocity (the independent variable) changes, the kinetic energy (the dependent variable) will change in a way that can produce a parabolic curve when graphed.
So, the answer is:
**Dependent Variable: velocity (m/s)**.
