QuestionThe table below shows the energy of a 10 kg ball as a function of velocity. How much energy will the ball have at ? (Type the number, do not include units in your answer)
Use a matrix to run a quadratic regression
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline Velocity (m/s) & Energy (Joules) \\
\hline 0 & 0 \\
\hline 2 & 12 \\
\hline 3 & 27 \\
\hline 6 & 108 \\
\hline 10 & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
