Using the data you collect from the video on the right. Can you determine the following:
The kinetic energy of the ball when it left the launcher?
The amount of force necessary to compress the spring 1-m (the spring constant)?
Using LoggerPro (or a similar program) determine the compression of the spring.

Some items to consider:
What are some sources of systemic error that may create a discrepancy in your data?
Describe a minimum of three different graphs that you could create from the data collected.
Within the spreadsheet below, add the following:
A collection of the screenshots of your compression measurements.
A spreadsheet of your data. All calculations should be done within the spreadsheet, only your raw data should be typed in by hand.
On your spreadsheet, create the graphs described above. Using a text box, describe the most important features of the graphs. These features should include the relationships between the variables.
