Purpose (Hypothesis): By rolling a metal ball down an inclined ramp, we see the effects of gravity. As we perform this experiment, we get values for displacement, average time it takes for a ball to go a certain displacement, average velocity, initial velocity, final velocity, and acceleration. According to the Law of Falling Bodies: All objects, regardless of mass, approach Earth's surface with the same acceleration. In this lab, we indirectly prove this. We are trying to figure out if a change in time or distance will affect the acceleration constant. We are also trying to figure out if the Law is even true, if all our trials show that acceleration is constant, than the Law is correct. No matter the distance or time, acceleration should be the same for all the trials, assuming that the conditions are the same (i.e. The ramp's angle for all the trials). We are trying to prove this theory by rolling a metal ball down a ramp, which is set at an angle, and stopping it at !
             a certain displacement. As this is going on, the time it takes to travel that distance is measured with a stopwatch. By comparing time vs. distance, we should be able to prove the theory correct, by getting results that show a constant acceleration between the trials.
