Question

There are 17 images of the ball in the picture.

(a) Measure the height of each image above the black line, in centimetres. Measure the height from the centre of the ball. Record the heights, to the nearest tenth of a centimetre, in the third column.

(b) Create a Height vs Time scatter plot. Label the axes with the appropriate quantities and scaling.

(c) Draw a curve of best fit.

Answer 1

Hello!

A) For the first part of this question you are going to have to work out the distances of measurement with a ruler and write down the heights on the table on the next page, with each next image of each ball being written down one row below the previous.

B) For the second part you are going to want to label the x-axis as the time and the y-axis as the height. Then plot each point from the table above, keeping in mind to use time as the x-coordinate and the height that you recorded as the y-coordinate

C) Draw a curve between all the points on the graph, sort of like connecting the dots
