In this experiment, a ball rolls down a hill and hits a cup at the bottom. The hypothesis for investigation 2 predicted if the starting %0D%0A of the ball is increased, its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be %0D%0A. The data showed that the ball with lower starting height would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of %0D%0A. The data showed that the ball with a higher starting height would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a distance of %0D%0A. This means increasing the starting height of the ball will %0D%0A the kinetic energy of the ball at the bottom of the ramp. The hypothesis was %0D%0A.

In this experiment, the hypothesis for investigation 2 predicted that if the starting height of the ball is increased, its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill will be higher.

The data showed that the ball with a lower starting height would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a shorter distance.

The data also showed that the ball with a higher starting height would move the cup at the bottom of the ramp a longer distance.

This means that increasing the starting height of the ball will increase the kinetic energy of the ball at the bottom of the ramp.

Therefore, the hypothesis was supported.
