A ball moves along a 1D coordinate system with the following motion parameters at time t = 0 s: Xo = 1.9 m and vo = 0 m/s. The ball has a constant acceleration of 1.1 m/s2 during the entire motion which occurs over a time of 1.2 s. Assume that an error in position of 4 % is acceptable in this application over the entire motion. How many rows N will be needed in the table to model the entire motion to within the required error even though you are leaving out the final term of 1/2 a (At)²) present in the exact position expression?

### Kinematic Motion Analysis

A ball moves along a 1-dimensional coordinate system with the following motion parameters at time \( t = 0 \) seconds:

- Initial position, \( x_0 = 1.9 \) m
- Initial velocity, \( v_0 = 0 \) m/s

The ball has a constant acceleration of \( 1.1 \) m/s² during the entire motion, which occurs over a time interval of \( 1.2 \) seconds. 

#### Error Tolerance
An error in position of \( 4\% \) is deemed **acceptable** in this context over the entire duration of the motion.

#### Problem Statement
Determine the number of rows \( N \) required in a table to model the entire motion within the acceptable error margin, given that the final term \( \frac{1}{2} a (\Delta t)^2 \) in the exact position expression is excluded.

#### Explanation
The task is to calculate the precise number of equal intervals or rows needed to ensure that the model accurately represents the motion's position within the specified error tolerance. 

For detailed analysis:

1. **Initial Conditions:**  
   - \( x_0 = 1.9 \) m
   - \( v_0 = 0 \) m/s

2. **Acceleration:**
   - \( a = 1.1 \) m/s²

3. **Motion Duration:**
   - Total Time \( = 1.2 \) seconds

4. **Acceptable Error Margin:**
   - \( 4\% \) of the total motion distance.

This involves deriving the number of intervals \( N \), based on time steps \( \Delta t \), required to stay within the acceptable error limit while excluding the positional term \( \frac{1}{2} a (\Delta t)^2 \).
