Motion
As you work through the steps in the lab procedure, record your experimental values and the results
on this worksheet. Use the exact values you record for your data to make later calculations.
Part I: Data
Complete Table 1. Record all data to three decimal places (e.g., 4.000 or 6.325 or 0.000). Do not
include units in your answer.
