Introduction: Procedure and Set up:

Domains:
We used the problem solving process to

applicable equations and physics laws to
apply.
Data and Analysis:
Conclusion:
We answered questions using physics by Ben’s hangtime was 0.56 seconds and
Equation for finding time:
solving for our hang time using gathered Lydia’s was 0.44 seconds. Our way of
data and equations. measuring hangtimes was accurate because
the equations are analytically precise and
We used algebraic techniques to solve for there were essentially no outside factors that
unknowns when we manipulated the original could have affected the calculations.
