Data and Observations

10. The HIKER program will save the time and height (distance) data to lists L2 and L3 an the TI-82. When the program is finished, it will generate a graph of the data

11. Your graph will contain a downward-facing parabola. Trace the parabola by pressing TRACE and moving the courser with the new arrow keys. Find the highest height the rocket reached and the time it took to that height. Then find the time elapsed from the beginning of the flight to the end. Remember that x = time elapsed in seconds, while y = height in feet.

highest height: _______________________________________________________

time elapsed: ________________________________________________________

time elapsed from beginning to the end of flight: ___________________________
