The actual lab question
Decide whether the toy car exhibits uniform motion in one run. Record at least ten time intervals, with a repeatable procedure. Use a position/time table and a second interval-/ table.
The four analysis tasks
Calculate interval and total average velocities, showing a sample of each calculation. Fit the position–time graph and find mathematically and with the computer. Plot interval velocities at their midpoint times. Interpret the and variation using your own data.
