delta x= v naught *t +.5at^2
initial velocity was indeed zero
a=2(change of x/ chang of t^2)
then change of x/ change of y=1.373(.8900)+.112 i let x = the average time it took on all the runs. that's the equation for the slope so i figured since the fit line was on the distance vs. time squared...
I'm sorry i was too vague. I measured distances between two gates with a photo lens. The time it took for the car to roll down from point a to point b was also measured. Then those are the graphs i did the fit on.
I've been trying things for the last hour non stop.. so far I'm here...
Homework Statement
We had our lab yesterday in engineering physics where we had a car with nearly no friction descending down an incline plane. The incline was at 16 degrees, and we used data studio to record a crazy amount of trials at various distances. The point of this is to calculate...
