Initial Length Final Length Feel / Bend
No Salt 5 cm 5.2cm Fells hard
Medium Salt 5cm 5.3cm Feels bandy
High Salt 5cm 4.9cm Feels more bandy
My qustion is :
How would increasing the temperature of the hypertonic solution affect osmosis for the potato strip?
And also how does this work?

Introduction of thermal energy would increase molecular motion and this would have a positive influence in the process you have described.

Wow what a question!!
Sounds too Complex
Increasing the temperature of a liquid increases its Kinetic Energy, so that the molecules and the liuquid as a whole move faster
Moving faster means that they travel more frequently through the membrane, thus affecting the Osmotic Results
One thing to notice is that the OSmotic Property of the Potato Strip itself is not affected
The Overall change in Osmosis is due to the Increased KE of the WATER molecules only
