Results
Answer each in complete sentences.

1. Describe the shape of the graph.

It’s a curve in which distance covered is increasing with each passing second.

2. Describe the relationship between the position and time variables for the motion of the ball
Position changes with Time but this change is not constant, instead this change is increasing with
each passing second.
3. Write a conclusion for this lab (purpose, what you learned, sources of error).
Purpose was the thorough understanding of the displacement time graph to understand how the
Acceleration affects the change in position with time. Possible Error may arise from the human /
systematic error in using the stop watch.
