Homework for Physics

I am really sorry about this but somehow between all the cutting and pasting I STILL messed up the assignment.

Here it is.  This is the correct one...finally.

Read in the Conceptual Physics book pages, 10 - 16 and 21-23


Graph Data from Ramp Experiment 
I'd like 3 graphs.  
1. Feet as the horizontal axis and speed as the vertical
2. Feet as the horizontal axis and acceleration as the vertical
3. Seconds as the horizontal axis and distance as the vertical

Answer the following questions:
1.  When did the ball have the highest speed?
2.  What would the speed of the ball be if the ramp was long enough to allow the ball to  travel for one more second.
3.  What was the average speed of the ball for the entire ramp?
4.  When was acceleration greatest or was it constant?
5.  If it wasn't constant….why not?
6.  What was the average acceleration of the ball for the entire ramp?
7.  What would the acceleration be if the ramp was long enough to allow the ball to travel for one more second.
