A student rolls two marbles down an inclined plane. One marble has a mass of 4.8 grams. The student calculates its kinetic energy to be 0.0035 Joules when it reaches the end of the plane. The second marble has a mass of 2.4 grams. What is the best prediction for its kinetic energy at the end of the plane?(1 point)

Because the gravitational potential energy mgh (and thus the kinetic energy at the bottom, neglecting losses) is proportional to mass. KE2 = KE1 × (2.4/4.8) = 0.0035 × 0.5 = 0.00175 J.
