Q2

A glass ball is used in an experiment to determine the drag force of rubber mat. When the
glass ball rolls down from the ramp, the reading of displacement, d, is taken as shown in the
Table Q2 below.
Table Q2
d (m) 1 1.02 1.11 1.19 1.22 1.24
t (s) 1.3 1.5 1.7 1.9 2.0 2.1

By using both 3-point central and 5-point difference formula, find


(a) the velocity of the glass ball at t = 1.7s, and
(b) the acceleration of the glass ball at t = 1.7s.
What can you conclude from the result? Is the rubber mat able to decrease the motion of the
glass ball?
