  1. ___________________ Does the above data confirm a hypothesis that time and distance are linearily related for a ball rolling on a level surface?
  2. Why does the above data confirm or disconfirm a hypothesis that time and distance are linearily related for a ball rolling on a level surface?
  3. ___________________ According the above data, which ball is faster, the A or the B ball?
  4. ___________________ What is the speed of the A ball in meters per second?
  5. ___________________ Using the above data, predict the distance the A ball would roll after 7 seconds.
  6. ___________________ Using the above data, predict the time it would take the A ball to roll 31.6 meters.
  7. ___________________ Will the ball obey your predictions above?
  8. Why, or why not, will the ball above obey your prediction? Use the back if you need more space.
