Purpose: Measure the speed of the car.
Procedure:
1)Measure from 2-10 meters.
2)Place tape at each distance.
3)Turn on car.
4)Time the car from start to each distance.
5)Repeat for accurate data.
Data: See pics below.
Calculations/ Results: Equation- y=2.25x+0
Variables- x=time y=distance
Slope- 2.25
Y intercept- 0
Error Analysis: The purpose of the lab was to find the speed of the car over different distances.
There were no errors in our experiment other than timing could not be exact.
Questions:
1) The buggy's motion is constant.
2) The slope tells us that it's motion is constant.
3) Yes, all you need is distance and time.
4) We did the procedure this way because we felt it would be the most accurate.
