Review Question
Your Answer
Q1
What type of mathematical shape do you expect from the velocity prediction: square root, linear, exponential, sine-wave, or something else? Square root Q2
Which model – rolling or non-
rolling – predicts higher speeds? Non-rolling predicts higher speeds. Results
Insert a picture of each of your graphs below. (Use the “Snipping Tool.”) Specify the values of your ball’s accelerations. Figure 2: Graph of Results – Insert image for graph Caption for Graph: My graph with a higher no-roll prediction.

Answer the following questions based on your experience. Q#
Analysis Question
Your Answer
Q3
Was your prediction about the mathematical shape correct? Yes, both curves resemble a square root graph. Q4
Which model – rolling or non-
rolling – best describes your data? Rolling prediction Q5
If the drop height for the ball was 30.0 cm, what velocity would you predict for it? 2.05m/s Q6
What do you think might happen to the velocity if we rolled a coin (or other disk-shaped object) instead of a sphere? I think It would be a little faster. Q7
What is something that you gained (knowledge, experience, awareness, etc.) that you did not have prior to completing the experiment? It was beneficial to use the predictive velocity equations in practice. I now have a better understanding of how they work. Additional Instructions
