1. Observe the Acceleration vs Time graph. Below
explain the shape you would expect for constant
acceleration and how the shape of the graph
compares.
2. Fit the Acceleration vs Time graph with a linear fit.
Assuming the acceleration is constant determine the
acceleration from the equation of the fit.
a =
acceleration (m/s²)
