Worked Example

A motorist records the distance they travel along a motorway at various times. The data are recorded in the table below:

Produce a model for this data represented by a formula, using the variables \(s\) for distance travelled and \(t\) for time.
Worked Example

A ball is dropped onto a hard floor. A model for the motion of the ball is investigated. Sketch a graph of Height against Time for a ball dropped from \(5\) metres. You can produce this sketch by doing your own experiment, or you can find videos online which show practical demonstrations of experiments with a bouncing ball.
