A group of students is exploring how different variables affect the kinetic energy of a cart. They set up four different experiments. One end of the ramp rests on 1 to 3 blocks and the cart carries a load of one to three 20g marbles. For each test, they release the cart at the top of the ramp and measure its speed at the bottom of the ramp.

Which experiment(s) best explores the relationship between mass and kinetic energy? (remember you can only change 1 thing) **Look at the marbles**
