What is the basic pattern between speed and height on the data?

something is missing here.

what is missing?

After looking, what is missing is format. On my screen, it is not presented as a table.

I am not certain what h is, height obviously. Guessing what this is, is a set of three tracks that have a hill in three locations each, and you are measureing height of hill and velocity at the top of the hill. What the relationship is just looking at the data, is as hill in increased, velocity is decreased.

To identify the basic pattern between speed and height in the given data, we need to analyze the values for each track separately. Let's start by looking at the Loop Track data.

In the Loop Track data, we have three locations (1, 2, 3) with corresponding values for potential energy (PE), kinetic energy (KE), total mechanical energy (TME), height (h), and velocity (v).

If we observe the values for location 1, location 2, and location 3, we can see that as the height (h) decreases, the velocity (v) tends to increase. This is evident from the increasing values of velocity (1.2, 1.7, 2.1) as the height decreases (0.4, 0.3, 0.1).

Similarly, if we analyze the data for the Roller Track and Straight Track, we can observe a similar pattern. In both tracks, as the height decreases, the velocity tends to increase.

Therefore, the basic pattern between speed and height in the given data is that as the height decreases, the velocity tends to increase. This suggests that there is a correlation between height and speed, where a decrease in height results in an increase in speed.
