Question

formulating a hypothesis about mass
write a hypothesis for part i of the lab, which is about the effect of mass on the ability of an object 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 mass affect thermal energy transfer?\

Explanation:

The hypothesis should be based on the relationship between mass and thermal - energy transfer. A larger mass generally has more particles and can store more thermal energy.

Answer:

If an object has a greater mass, then it will be able to absorb and release more thermal energy because it contains more particles that can store and transfer thermal energy.
