Starting from rest, let a ball roll down an incline for five seconds. Mark the ball's position on the incline at each second with chalk.
Measure these positions as distances from the starting point. Record the data in the worksheet.
Complete two more trials and average these values.
Plot a position versus time graph using the average values. Use any graphing technology of your choice.
Complete the results section of the worksheet.
