Question

If an object is dropped from a height, its downward speed theoretically increases
linearly over time because the object is subject to the steady pull of gravity. Here
are observational data on the speed of a ball dropped from a certain height at time
x = 0:
Time (seconds) X 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8
Speed (m/sec) Y 0 1.92 3.58 6.01 7.88
