 Graph of first half analysis

Information from the graph: Having the computer calculate a "line of best fit" for the curve led us to the value of our slope, which is 18.83 m/s. This is the velocity that the airbag takes off with. The slope of the graph is the velocity because this is a distance versus time graph. The units of the slope are x/t, which is what velocity is.
