Calculate the average time the car needed to travel each distance for the four trials. Record the results in Table 4-2.</p><p>2. Calculate the average speed of the toy car as it passes each marker. Record the results to the nearest 0.1 m/s in Table 4-2.</p><p>Time (s) Trial 1.0 m 2.0 m 3.0 m 4.0 m 5.0 m 1 2 3 4 Average Average Speed (m/s) 3. Make a graph to compare the average speed of the toy car (y-axis) to the distance to each marker (x-axis).</p><p>Conclusions (19 points)</p><p>1. Describe the motion of the car as it moved across the floor.</p><p>2. What caused the car to slow down and stop?</p><p>3. Did the toy car travel at a constant speed? How do you know this?</p><p>4. How could you change this experiment to make the toy car decelerate at a faster rate?</p><p>5. How could you change this experiment to make the car accelerate at a faster rate? </p><p>6. Consider the 5.0 meters that the car traveled. What conditions are necessary for the car to have no acceleration or deceleration?</p>
