A student conducts 5 trials to investigate factors affecting the formation of impact craters and here are the results. Which statement BEST describes the results of the investigation?

• The kinetic energy of the marble just before impact is proportional to the depth of the crater it forms

• The kinetic energy of the marble just before impact is proportional to the mass of the marble

• The depth of the crater is proportional to the mass of the marble

• The depth of the crater is proportional to the mass of the marble
