Purpose:
During our lab, Galileo's Water Clock, we created our lab to describe the motion of a ball on a plane using the water clock as an alternative method for measuring time. Our main purpose in this lab was to determine if the displacement of the ball is determined by the time or the time squared.

Procedure:
Once the water clock was set up, a ball was let go from the ramp at various distances for three trials each. Once the ball was let go, the water clamp was opened and then immediately shut once the ball reached the bottom. The amount of water released into the test tube (ml) and centimeters from which the ball was released were used together to find the average time, and average time squared.

Data, Observations, Sample Calculations and/or Graphs:
By looking at our collected data, when the displacement decreases, the average time and average time squared decrease with it. The formula used to come up with the average time and average time squared is as follows:......
