A group of students conducts an experiment outside with a marble and a mound of dirt (to make a hill). They push the marble down the hill with different amounts of force. What should the students measure in this experiment to learn about how the mechanical energy of the marble is related to speed?

• They should measure the distance the marble travels each time.

• They should measure the amount of time the marble rolls each time.

• They should measure the amount of time it takes the marble to reach a certain distance each time.

• They should measure the height of the hill.
