Emma and her friends are racing toy cars on a race track. Emma can hear their wheels on the track. All the cars have the same mass. Each car is racing at a constant speed. Stop watches are used to time the cars. Emma records the results of the race in a table.
Using the data in the table as evidence, Emma made the following claim: The red car traveled with the greatest kinetic energy. Is Emma’s claim supported by the evidence?
No, because the blue car traveled for the longest time.
No, because the green car had the fastest speed
Yes, because the red car traveled the farthest distance
Yes, because the red car had the fastest speed.
