A ball moves along a 1D coordinate system with the following motion parameters at time t
= 0 s: x₁ = 1.9 m and vo = 0 m/s. The ball has a constant acceleration of 1.1 m/s2 during

4% is acceptable in this application over the entire motion. How many rows N will be
needed in the table to model the entire motion to within the required error even though
