Use this link (https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/mofall.html) to get the data for distance (in Y-axis) vs. time (in x-axis).

When you opened this link, you will find a table of free fall starting at zero velocity (do not worry about the theory at this time, we will work on Chapters 2 and 3).use the first row for the time data (in seconds) and the last row for the distance (in meters) data.

Rewrite those data- time and distance in the table below:
Time (in seconds)
Distance (in Meters)

i. Use the scatter plot (using Microsoft Excel) to get the graph distance vs. time and attach the graph.

ii. What is the equation of the line of best fit for your graph (you can use trend line-best fit----and display the equation in the scatter plot, graph, to get the best-fit equation)?

iii. Using your equation, predict the distance of object in free fall at t=20 seconds and 30 seconds (we assume that the object starts falling freely from a sufficient height to travel 30 seconds before hitting the ground).
