Question

HELP! Please! Only one question. I only have until tomorrow to answer it. I've tried EVERYTHING! Will medal and fan. Data is included.
Test 1
Degree of elevation: 10
Length of roll (cm) Average drop time (s) Average distance the ball traveled (m) Horizontal velocity (m/s)
100 0.247 0.27 1.093
75 0.283 0.25 0.883
50 0.292 0.21 0.719
Test 2
Degree of elevation: 20
Length of roll (cm) Average drop time (s) Average distance the ball traveled (m) Horizontal velocity (m/s)
100 0.208 s 0.29 m 1.394
75 0.223 s 0.25 m 1.121
50 0.271 s 0.24 m 0.885

For each angle of elevation, what is the relationship between the velocity of the ball and the distance (x) that the ball traveled?

Answer 1

All I know is that the farther the ball traveled the higher the velocity but I can't help but think my teacher wants more. I don't know what else to add!

Answer 2

Anybody? Please? I'm kind of desperate at the moment...

Answer 3

well I would have thought you could plot the points distance on the horizontal axis and velocity on the vertical axis

then look at the data to see is there is a correlation...then perhaps find line of best fit.

excel will do it nicely for you.

Answer 4

Thank you for responding. I'll try that and see how it works.

Answer 5

that would be my suggest.... what topic is it..?
