Question
Does height have an effect on the average velocity of a dropped object?
Given the chart can you make a conclusion- I filled out the last column it was originally blank
(when I did this I found average velocity to be inversely proportional because the average velocity slightly decreased as height increased) is this correct? I'm having trouble
Transcribed Image Text:**How Height Affects Velocity Table**
This table demonstrates the effect of drop height on velocity. It consists of the following columns:
1. **Height (m)**: The height from which the object is dropped, measured in meters.
2. **Time 1 (s)**, **Time 2 (s)**, **Time 3 (s)**: Three recorded times in seconds, representing how long it takes for the object to reach the ground from the specified heights.
3. **Avg Time (s)**: The average of the three recorded times for each height.
4. **Average Velocity (m/s)**: The calculated average velocity in meters per second.
