- In my assignment, I was asked to perform a lab experiment. I was to take a provided ball and roll it at a given angle at measured increments - 0.1m-.8m. I measured the time in seconds it took to go from 0 to each point - 0-.1, 0-.2, etc. My lab assignment asked me to perform each step three times. I did this, rolling the ball 3 times from 0-0.1 and calculating the time. I used an app on my phone, slowed down, and went to the closest time interval I could for each test. Naturally, my results for each of the 3 tests for all 8 distances was a bit off, as I would expect given my inexperience and inaccuracy of the tools used to begin with. The lab then asks to chart these values - which I inserted a chart of each trial, the time of each trial, and then calculated the average time ((trial 1 + trial 2 + trial 3)/3). The part I am stuck on is that the next activity it asks me for is: "Calculate the square of the average time for each distance, then create a graph of displacement vs. time…arrow_forwardA rock is thrown over a cliff from the origin.
