For my first lab of the year, we did shoot for your grade involving the materials: ramp
with slides, duct tape, 1-3 meter ruler, 1 marble and a table to calculate for the equations that we
had to find. First, the class broke into groups of three or four, because one person had to roll the
marble down the slide, one person had to catch the marble so it wont drop, one person doing the
stopwatch and or one person writing the data down on a paper. In my first group, it was Joseph,
Mitch, and I; Joseph was the person who dropped the marble, Mitch catching it, and me
converting the 30 cm/100 cm we get .3 m which when we plug .3 m/.014 s we get 1.76 m/s.
mean the initial, the as mean acceleration, the fs man final, and the vs mean velocity. Since we
want out numbers to go down, we want that positive, so our Yi will be positive gravity which is
+9.8 m/s.

Xi with 0 because no acceleration is pulling it, then we plug the Xix in and divid that all by the
time we got for our answer. After that we get .6952 m we had to convert it back into cm. We
Once we got all of our data down with the answer of finding time and XF we had to use
our scores. Once we did a little adjustment, the marble dropped on the 40% which was a mistake
because the math was correct, it was the fact that we placed the bullseye at the wrong spot of
partners. We did the same process as we did in the beginning with the start of the 5 roll time with
the stopwatch. Jose was the one who dropped the marble/record data, Nyoolim caught the marble
and I did the same as the first time. We all started again also at 30 cm and ended it at 0 cm.
multiplied the time by Vix and got .639 m. We had to go back into cm, so we went from m to cm
by .639 m * 100 cm which we get 63.89 cm. After finding the information once again, we did the
moved the bullseye to far back past the scale we got which is why we got 40% but on the second
time, we did it good which got my new partners and I our 50%
