Ourgroup was presented with a task of determining the average velocity of motorvehicles on Cooper Road. We wereprovided a stop watch and tape measure, in which we utilized to measure out 20meters along the side of the road, and time how long it took for the vehiclesto transport from start to finish. Thepurpose of the task was to figure out if drivers were breaking the speed limitof 35 miles per hour.
Weplanned to have two stops along the side of the road, where we timed how longit took for the car to travel between. Asthe car passed by the first person yelled “go” and the timer started the clockuntil the second person yelled “stop”. We recorded the data from 10 cars and then moved to another location andrepeated the process.

Hi Juliana, youre in my class and I'm looking forward to getting to know you this year.

My name is Caitlin Maggio, and I am currently a junior taking physics. I enjoy playing soccer and lacrosse, and am very social. When I'm older, I plan to study sports medicine or sports therapy.
I chose physics as my science this year because I thought it would help me to understand my future plans and continue to expand my knowledge in the science environment. I'm looking forward to learning new things during this course and hope I enjoy it!

I am a junior at irondequoit high school. one thing i like to do is play lacrosse. i hope to become a doctor in the future.
i signed up to take physics because i thought the class would be interesting and would help me in the future. i thought the class would educate me more in science, which would help me become a doctor.

This experiment had a large margin of error, due to in part from the equipment used and its mechanical limitations. The stop watch used is extremely hard to time with a person jumping, and just as hard to stop when the person lands back down. In order to eliminate much of the error, a more state of the art piece of equipment can be used to record the data. An infrared beam attached to a computer, with the Logger Pro program on, would more easily record the time of a person jumping and falling back down.
