A student is conducting an investigation to determine how mass and speed affect the kinetic energy of an object. She records the data shown below.

When a toy car weighing 250 grams is traveling at a speed of 2 m/s, its kinetic energy is 0.5 Joules.
When the velocity of the toy car is doubled, its kinetic energy is 2 Joules.
When a 250 gram weight is attached to the top of the toy car, its kinetic energy is 1 Joule when it is traveling at a speed of 2 m/s.
The student wants to use the data she collected to create a graph showing how kinetic energy changes as mass and speed changes.

Which of the following graphs BEST represents this relationship?
