The column A have :9) \":3: 3:23: the time in seconds and the column a has the distance in ft. In order for the Earth g to be calculated in Si units, all variables in the 41 0.10455 '0'396 graph of the position vs time should be in Si units. This means that the relative height should he in meters instead of feet 42 0.107511 0.39375 A3 0-1105! 41-40781 1) Converting free fall distance from feet to meters. Using Excel in column (C), add a formula with a cell reference to j: 8'32: 22;: column (B) to convert the relative height from feet to meters. Enter the formula into cell C3 and hit enter to convert the 45 0:119\" 0:45112 temperature in BS to meter. Click on C3, and then click CI'RL+C, then point your mouse to the cell C46 and then press 5HlFT+ Left 47 click. This should select the range of cells from c3 to 015. Then press mm. The whole range should be populated. as 49 IConversion formula: Ah (m) = Ah(ft) 4 0.3048 2) Building a chart. Click the column A on the column label A to select the whole column then hoid Ctrl key and left click the top of the column C. You should see columns A and C selected. Form the top menu select Insert and then from the ribbon group Charts select Insert Scatter. From Scatter insert the chart with points only. Piace the chart. The graph represents the free fall reiative height {m} vs time [s] 3} Adding Trendline. Now we will add Trendline to the plotted data. Right click on the data points on the graph and select from the popup menu Add Trendline. From the Format trendline window on the left select Polynomial Order 2. Select Display Equation on the chart check box from the same window on the 1eft of your Excel spreadsheet. You should see the trendiine equation on the graph. 4) Calculating 3. Calculate the g from the coefcient in front of x2 in the trendline formula. Place the value in E2 cell. 5) Type your full name into the titie of the graph. To do that double click on the graph Title and add your name. Questions: 1) Why are we converting the distance in ft to meters? 2) If the experiment is performed on the top of the mount Everest what will be the result for g. Explain. 3) What you expect to be the result if the same experiment is performed by the Mars Rover on surface of Mars? Explain. Post a Screenshot of your results in Excel when completed
