DATA COLLECTION

Mass
To find the mass of the ball, we used a digital mass scale, which read 396g or 0.396kg.
Time and Displacement


The data I collected involved the displacement, and the time. Collecting this involved three people. First, we measured the length of the football field using the measuring tape. Another person recorded how long the ball was in the air and how long it took for the thrower to cockback the ball.
