Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the type of material an object is made of, and its ability to absorb or release thermal energy. Use the format of "if . . . then . . . because . . .” and be sure to answer this part of the lesson question: "How does the type of material affect thermal energy transfer?

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
