1.    What does the y-intercept represent? (feel free to go back and look at the equations of motion!)

2.    How would you evaluate the adherence of the mathematical model to the kinematic equations? That is, what number(s) on this spreadsheet are an indicator that the behavior of the physical system (the data) matches our mathematical model (the kinematic equations)?
