    The document describes two experiments that measured the kinetic energy of a toy dump truck with varying mass and velocity. In the first experiment, the mass was increased while velocity stayed constant, showing that kinetic energy increases as mass increases. In the second experiment, mass stayed constant while velocity increased, demonstrating kinetic energy increases as velocity squared increases.
