Question
I performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 40 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = .86 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 937.26 cm, mass of car = .54 kg, based off this informatrion.....
Calculate the deceleration for the car from the end of the ramp to the cars stopping point: d = (1/2) a t^2, (Correction) for this calculation d = horizontal length the car travels from the edge of the ramp to stopping.
