Each of four students tried to throw a ball at a target 30 meters (m) away. They measured the speed and energy of each ball. Ron's ball had the smallest amount of energy. Sara's ball had largest amount of energy. Trent's ball had less energy than Ursa's ball. Match each student with the speed they most likely measured for their ball.

Answer 1

To match each student with the speed they most likely measured for their ball based on the information provided:

1. Ron - He has the smallest amount of energy, which means he likely threw the ball at the slowest speed.
2. Sara - She has the largest amount of energy, meaning her ball was thrown at the highest speed.
3. Trent - He has less energy than Ursa, which means his speed is likely less than Ursa's.
4. Ursa - Since Trent has less energy than Ursa, Ursa's speed will be higher than Trent's but lower than Sara's.

With this reasoning, the matching would be:

• Ron - Slowest speed
• Trent - Medium speed (less than Ursa)
• Ursa - Higher speed (more than Trent but less than Sara)
• Sara - Fastest speed

If you have specific speed values you would like to associate with each student, you can input them accordingly. If you have speed categories (e.g., slow, medium, fast), you would map them as follows:

• Ron: Slow
• Trent: Medium
• Ursa: Faster
• Sara: Fastest
