Our Experiment Worked!

The ping pong ball being down a ramp at different heights ended up producing a small curve, hinting a root  graph.  Our data shows that at a higher height the ping pong ball would reach its terminal velocity and will end up bouncing the same distance no matter how much higher it was.  Now we can take our data and log both the x and y values and derive our root law equation:  y=kxn.
