(i) Compute the slopes of 
and 
by graphing.(ii) Was the rate of fall for the dropped object constant throughout the experiment? Explain.
A. (i) 
: m = -24 and 
: m = -24
(ii) The slopes of the two lines are equal; therefore the rate of fall was constant throughout the experiment.
B. (i) 
: m = - 
and 
: m = - 
(ii) The slopes of the two lines are not equal; therefore the rate of fall was not constant throughout the experiment.
C. (i) 
: m = -48 and 
: m = -80
(ii) The slopes of the two lines are not equal; therefore the rate of fall was not constant throughout the experiment.
D. (i) 
: m = - 
and 
: m = - 
(ii) The slopes of the two lines are equal; therefore the rate of fall was constant throughout the experiment.
