I'm working on a gravity lab. I need to compare the the equations produced by Excel with the kinematic equation for an object in motion. Excel: y= ax2+bx+c Kinematic Equation: y= 1/2gt2+vit+yi Excel created the equation y = -4.7701x2 - 0.5842x + 0.0171. How would that be compared to the kinematic equation? How would I find the acceleration of the object in motion?

I'm working on a gravity lab. I need to compare the the equations produced by Excel with the kinematic equation for an object in motion.

Excel: y= ax2+bx+c

Kinematic Equation: y= 1/2gt2+vit+yi

Excel created the equation y = -4.7701x2 - 0.5842x + 0.0171. How would that be compared to the kinematic equation? How would I find the acceleration of the object in motion?
