Use the following information to answer question.
A student is conducting an experiment using a ball that is attached to the end of a string on a pendulum. The student pulls the ball back so that it is at an angle to its resting position. As the student releases the ball, it swings forward and backward. The student measures the time it takes the ball to make one complete period. A period is defined as the time it takes the ball to swing forward and back again to its starting position. This is repeated using different string lengths.
The students formed the following hypothesis:Lengthening the string of the pendulum increases the time it takes the ball to make one complete period.What correction would you have the student make to the hypothesis?

A

Turn it into an ''if/then'' statement

B

Add the word ''will'' in the middle after the word ''pendulum''

C

Switch the order of the sentence so that the phrase about the period comes first,and the phrase about the string's length is last

D

No corrections are needed
