Question
Read the scenario, then answer the question.
Your physics class is conducting an experiment on the energy exchange between colliding objects. You and your classmates have identical materials and are experimenting with identical conditions. You perform three trials, and your data is different in each trial. You compare results with your peers and find that everyone has different data.

The most appropriate response to how the scientific experiment is limited, based on the scenario provided, is:
The experiment shows that energy exchanges between objects differs.
This option highlights that variability in the results suggests there may be differences in how energy exchanges occur under the experimental conditions, indicating limitations in the consistency or predictability of the experiment.
