Using Excel to make a plot of the Position vs Time given in the following table. The dependent variable is the position (y-axis) and the independent variable is the time (x-axis). This is the measured position of a rock as it falls from the top of a very high cliff and obeys the equations y = 1/2gt2. Make sure you label the plot properly. Label the plot and the plot axes with the appropriate labels.

Measurement	Time (s)	Position (m)

Right click on a data point in the graph and add a “Trend line.” Select a polynomial of order 2. This is a parabolic equation and describes an object falling under constant acceleration. Also check the box that says ‘Display equation on the graph.” Since the acceleration of gravity is 2 times the coefficient of the x2 term, what do you find for the acceleration of gravity. Copy and paste your graph in the given space below. (50 points)

Coefficient of the x2 Term = ____________________ ( 5 points)

Calculate the acceleration due to gravity (g) using your equation (do not forget the units) ( 15 points)

“g” = ____________________
