The materials that we used for this

project where:
● Tape 2
Conclusion: We used the formula Y=Y0+V0t-0.5gt . to
● Meter stick find that Francesca had an average hang time of 0.44
● Calculator Then we measured the distance sec, Ben had an average hang time of 0.49 sec, and
● Marker between the two pieces of tape Miles had an average hang time of 0.54 sec. The

gone wrong was in placing the tape while jumping or
due to the different size pieces of tape.
