Question

A timer is started as a ball is dropped from a certain height and its velocity measured. After 0 seconds, the ball is falling at 0 feet per second. After 2 seconds, the ball is falling at 64 feet. After 3 seconds, the ball is traveling at 96 feet and after 4 second the ball is traveling 128. Is this a proportional relationship?

Answer 1

yes

because the descent of the ball is 32m per second

Explanation:

To determine if the relationship is proportional, determine the descent of the ball per second

after 2 seconds = 64 / 2 = 32

after3 seconds = 96/3 = 32

after 4 seconds = 128 / 4 = 32

the relationship is proportional
