Today’s work
Your car should be ready to go; no more than five minutes to get it ready. Before the end of the period, you need to:
- Run your car for three trials.
- Record the time and distance your car traveled.
- Record notes describing the motion of your car.
- Calculate each trial’s speed and averages.
If your group does not finish these steps, you must come in at lunch or after school today.
