We are given that a ball is dropped down a ramp and we are asked to determine the velocity and construct a velocity table.
To do that we need to use the following formula for velocity:
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\text{ velocity} \\ d=\text{ distance} \\ t=\text{ time} \end{gathered}[/tex]
For example, for the case when the ball is stopped after 2 meters we determine the velocity by dividing the distance over the time, we get:
[tex]v=\frac{2m}{1.21s}[/tex]
Solving the operations we get:
[tex]v=1.7\text{ m/s}[/tex]
Therefore, the velocity for this distance is 1.7 meters per second.
We repeat this operation for each of the distances with the corresponding time and construct a table of "time" vs "velocity", as follows:
To build the graph we plot the points of time and velocity, as follows:
