2. Solve the slope of the distance-time graph you constructed for item #1 using the
equation: slope=(rise /run). Get the slope by using several pair of points, at least
three pairs of points.
3. What is the slope? Is it a constant? What does it mean if it is constant? What does
it mean if it is not constant?
9. Obtain another distance-time graph of the motion of the ball bearing, using same
axis, with a new distance values obtained from the methods of least squares. As
your guide, fill up table 2.
