AP Physics 1 Kinematics Problem #3

In this AP Physics 1 kinematics problem, we’re going to be looking at solving a free response question involving kinematics in one dimension.

This problem is an experimental design question so we have to not only derive the relationship, but we have to connect it to the graph and analyze the data.

thank you so much for the videos :) studying right now!

If I correlated x axis with t^2, would that still work?

Why did you put the distance on the y-axis instead of the x-axis? If the distance is the independent variable, shouldn't it be plotted on the x-axis? I got 0.1 m/s^2 for the acceleration by doing this.
