Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the relationship between position (x) and time (t) of a battery-powered vehicle.
Apparatus & Procedure: Diagram: Procedure instructions: 1. Get two battery powered vehicles, one stopwatch, a piece of chalk and a meter stick.
2. Take the piece of chalk and mark a starting line.
3. Now take the meter stick and measure 5 meters from the start line and mark a line for each meter.
4. Now put one of the racecars and put it on the start line.
5. Then give someone the stop watch so he or she can take time for you.
6. The way the time should be taken should be how long does it take for the back wheels to go over the set marker. Also the timer should hit start on the stopwatch once he or she sees the car move and should hit stop when the back wheels go over the marker.
