The purpose of this lab was to have students calculate velocity and acceleration
for a toy car and a Hall's car rolling down a ramp and then across a smooth
surface. Students will perform three trials to see how far their car
travels in 1 sec., 2 sec., 3 sec., 4 sec., and 5 sec. Students then
graphed their distance versus time data, calculated average velocity of the car
for their trials, and also calculated the acceleration for the time frames 0-2
sec., 2-4 sec., and 4-5 sec.
