Battery powered vehicle lab!
During this lab we measured how long it took a battery powered car to travel different intervals. We did this to measure the speed of the car when traveling different distances.
This is our graph for the first trial.
This is our graph for the second trial.
This is our table for the second trial.
This is our table for the first trial.
The equation for both of the trails averaged is Y=0.43X+0.
Y=MX+B Slope intercept form.
Slope=m
y-intercept=B
M=0.43
B=0
0.43 means that for each second that passes the car moves 0.43 meters.
0 means that when 0 seconds have passed the car has moved 0 meters.

0.43 means that for each second that passes the car moves 0.43 meters.
0 means that when 0 seconds have passed the car has moved 0 meters.
The error that we ran into was that we did not always stop/start the timers when the car would start or stop. This affected us by taking up more time so we could redo some of the experiments.
When the car was going straight on a flat surface it traveled at 0.43 meters per second. The slope (0.43) of this set of data means that the battery powered car traveled 0.43 meters per second. You could use the slope/equation to predict further distances for this car going on straight on a flat surface. We decided to do our lab this way because it was the way that made the most sense to our group.
