Use the table of information from a student's investigation to answer the question. Object Splash Size Ranking W 2 X 4 Y 1 Z 3 A student drops several objects of the same size into a bucket of water from a height of 2 meters. She ranks the splash size from 1-4, with 1 being the smallest splash and 4 being the largest splash. Which object most likely has the greatest mass? (1 point) Responses object X object X object W object W object Z object Z object Y

1 answer

Based on the information provided, object Y has the smallest splash size ranking (1), while object W has the largest splash size ranking (4). In general, larger splashes are typically produced by heavier objects, assuming other factors such as shape and material are consistent.

Since object W has the highest splash size ranking (4), it is reasonable to conclude that object W most likely has the greatest mass among the objects. Therefore, the answer is:

object W
