Low friction car
Data
When we first began this experiement, we screwed up, so that was pretty hectic (that's why I mentioned it was amusing). We didn't measure the position of the car, but instead, the distance between two points. Anways moving on, as you can tell, the prediction my group came up with was correct. During the white board discussion, there was one group that had problems with their graph. We said that they could've pushed the car slightly, or their calculations might have been off (human errors). Continuing on, our class came to the consensus that the velocity vs. time graph would be a diagonal line because the car gets faster as it goes down, which results in the slopes changing. The velocity vs. time graph could not be a straight, horizontal line because it was not going at a constant speed. Lastly, we concluded that this graph was a polynomial graph because it had a curve, as it was going up.
Reflections: This experiement was alright. I thought the class discussion was very boring and confusing towards the end. Mr. Battaglia was writing things on the board and I wasn't very sure. I didn't ask questions during the discussion, which I should've. My mistake.
That's about it guys, thanks for reading!
