Procedure:
1.Roll a tennis ball for five seconds down an incline, marking its position at each second with chalk.
2.Measure these positions as distances from the starting point and enter the data in the data table.
3.Plot a position versus time graph using Graphical Analysis.
Time (s) Position (m)
0 0 cm/s
1 20.32cm/s
2 45.72cm/s
3 91.44cm/s
4 175.26cm/s
5 236.22cm/s
Results:
Describe the shape of the graph and tell what the shape reveals about the relationship between the position and
time for the motion of the ball. The graph starts off still at 0 seconds but then over the rest of the 5 seconds in
increasingly gets steeper as each second passes.
