Bleacher Drop Data

Unit 3 Quadratic Functions

Record the data for each object drop using the table below:
Object Drop # Height Time the object landed Time when the object was halfway down

Averaging the times above, graph the height of the object as a function of time. You should plot at least three points: 1. The initial height of the object; 2. The time at which the object hit the ground, and 3. The time at which the object was halfway to the ground. f(t)

t What do you notice about the graph as compared to the bell work graph?
