A mechanized “swinging hammer” is used to drive bolts into a wall. It is known that at the point of contact, the energy dissipated as heat is proportional to the square of the terminal velocity of the hammer. We have collected the following data:



(a) Manually plot the points on a suitable graph.

(b) Determine the mathematical relationship between the variables using the equations from the chapter.

(c) Using a spreadsheet, plot the points on a suitable graph.

(d) Using a spreadsheet, construct a trendline and determine the equation of the curve and the coefficient of determination.

(e) Compare and discuss the results between the two methods.
