In the data, one trend found was that as the ball became closer to the ground, it’s kinetic energy value went up and the GPE value went down. Also, when the ball went up, the value of kinetic energy became smaller and the value of GPE became greater. This is correct because when any object is close to the ground the kinetic energy is greater than the GPE and when the object is at it’s highest point the GPE is greater and the kinetic energy is less. Another trend was when the ball was at the very end or beginning the total energy was .5 off from the total energies of the points in the middle. This is an example of inherent error because there was no way for the LabQuest to get the exact point and motion, so the calculations were bound to be
