The toy car travels at a consistent momentum every meter.
Alternative Claim:
Based on the data received, the toy car accelerates at an average of 4.91 meters per second, meaning it does not travel at constant speed.
Observations:
When the toy car moves past two in a half meters, it starts to curve off the track just a little bit.
While looking at the data table, each meter had a relatively close time. Meaning the constant speed per meter is pretty consistent.
#1) First, grab a meter stick and place it vertically in front of you.
Tip: Make sure the terrain you are conducting this experiment on, is flat and solid. Meaning no hills, bumps, papers or any obstacle that can throw your analysis off. Not only that, but make sure you have enough space to manage this operation.
#2) Secondly, mark both ends of the meter stick with masking tape to indicate the start and finish line of trail one.
Tip: To save time, repeat this step two more times. In other words, you place the meter stick in front of the last tape mark you made, then mark your second meter. In the end, you will be left with four tape marks. Also, make sure your masking tape is a little bit more longer than the width of the toy vehicle. This helps keep your tape marks visible when it comes time for you car to pass the finish line.
#3) Thirdly, have your partner stand to the side of you.
This makes sure that they see the car moving from left to right or vice versa. (It helps them see the car finishing and starting more easily). Now, you pick up your toy car, turning the on button while keeping it running in your hands.
Tip: In squat position, face yourself directly in front of the very first tape mark. The toy car must be behind the first tape mark.
#4) After settling into position, let go off the toy car the very moment you here your partner say “Go!”.
Finally, wait until the toy car passes the desired meter mark with its back wheels in front of the masking tape and hit the pause button on the stop watch. Record your data into the table as shown below.
