Two students investigate the effects of increasing mass and increasing velocity on the kinetic energy (KE) of objects using the KE formula. In the graph on the left the student increased the mass by one unit while keeping velocity constant. In the graph on the right the student increased the velocity by one unit while keeping the mass constant. Which of the following statements is correct based on the data? Statement A: Increasing the velocity of an object has a greater effect on the KE than mass because velocity in the KE formula is squared, which makes KE increase more quickly.
Statement B: Increasing the mass of an object has a greater effect on the KE than velocity because bigger objects will have more KE. Statement
Statement C: Increasing the mass of an object has a greater effect on the KE than velocity because bigger objects will have more KE. Statement
