[ATTACH=CONFIG]476[/ATTACH] This is our Buggy lab from September 14th, 2012.

Todayour purpose was to find how fast the cars on Cooper Road, outside of our school,were going. The group took a role as anIrondequoit Police Officer to evaluate if any cars were exceeding the speedlimit. We had to use our knowledge of physics to help us calculate how the timeit took a car to travel a set distance related to the velocity, and how wetransfer that to relate to miles per hour. Here is our procedure: First, we decided how we wanted to set a distance,some groups used long strings of measuring tape to set a distance. We, howevermeasured a sidewalk block and chose to use 20 of them. We found each block was 1.51meters long, so our distance was 30.2 meters in t…

The speed limit of the road in front of the high school, Cooper Road, is 35 mph. Many people find it necessary to go above this set speed and therefore go against the law. Our task was to detect those perpetrators by finding their speed. We divided their distance by time. First we measured out 20 meters in the grass by the road with a measuring tape. Then we had one person stand at the front of the measuring tape and another at the end. Another person would record the characteristics (color) of the vehicle passing. The person in the front would yell go signaling the person with the stopwatch to start the timer. When the car’s rear end passed the tape the timer would stop…

Physics Lab 9/12/12 Group: Jennifer Dinolfo Dan Southwell Jeramy Brown Brenden Goebert Introduction: This speeding lab project forces student’s to measure distance, time going from one point to another, description of cars passing by, and lastly, calculating average speed. Groups of 3-4 students work together and help the police department maintain safety on Cooper Road. Cooper Road has a speed limit of 35 mph (15.6 m/s, or 56.3 km/hr) and our goal for this project was to gather data about the speeds of cars driving down Cooper …

WilliamPagán Jr., Mark Paradise, Mathew Kucmerowski 9/12/12 Speeding Lab Write-Up The speed limit on cooper road is 35miles per hour. As a test we are looking to evaluate how fast people reallydrive down cooper. We are doing this as a part of a police safety project. Thisproject looks to see how fast people go because generally people speed downcooper. We collected data to show the actual speeds of cars going down the roadwithout the use of a radar gun. Through the use of basic math we are able todetermine who is speeding. Step one: Gatherthe materials that you will need. You will need a tape measure two st…

Stephanie Rogers,Preston Monigle, Andrew Skrypka The speed limit onCooper Road in front of the high school is 35 mph(15.6 m/s, or 56.3 km/hr). Aspart of an Irondequoit Police Department safety project, our team has beenasked to gather data about the speeds of cars driving down Cooper Road. We were broken up intogroups of 3-4 people and were provided stopwatches and a tape measure. We usedthe tape measure to get a distance between two points that we would time thecars that passed by. We had one person in our group stand at the first time andthe other two people at the second point. The one person that stood at thefirst point signaled the other two when the cars passe…

Nick Pignato, Caitlin Maggio, Alex Miller, Erica Plukas 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 …

Paul Divincenzo, Remo Divincenzo, SpeedingLab Madeline Giamartino, Ben Duchano Thepurpose of this lab was to find out if cars were speeding down Cooper Rd. We measured out forty meters and had two peoplestand at one end and two at the other. Two of the people on one side had stop watches with them. Once the car would pass by them, they wouldstart the timer and then the other people at the other end signaled the timersto stop when the car passed them. (At the other end of the 40 meters.) Our average speed and velocity of our 20trials was 13.365 m/s.

Eric Pinales,Ryan Sullivan, Ben Stiener, Gerrard Caso Today we were given the task torecord the speeds at which cars were vrooming down the casual yet exuberantCooper Rd. we had to find two points of measurement over a 30 meter span. We recordedthe speeds of ten different cars to get a comprehensive understanding of howthe calculations work. Step 1: we measured out 30 meters ofthe side of the road Step 2: we had a person at each end,with one in the middle, and another one off to the side recording data. Step 3: When the car passed thefirst end (point A) the person there yelled to start recording. Step 4: …

Marisa Orlando, Ashley Halsey, Patrick Oliveri, Sara Trojanczyk Our objective in this experiment was to test the speed of driver’s going down Cooper Road. We measured a certain portion of the street and cut the distance in half to make it an equal distance of 21 meters. Then we had two people at the start of each half to record times, along with the last person at the end of the 2nd half. Step By Step Procedure: The person at the start of the first half started the stopwatch as soon as a car reached their point. They stopped timing when the car reached the second person, who was 21m down. As a result, the second person started timing when the car got to their po…

We da police. In this project we were trying to figure out the speeds of vehicles on Cooper road, which has a speed limit of 35 MPH or 56.3 km/hr. To determine whether or not people were speeding we lied down 25m of measuring tape as well as 50m. We timed from when the front of the car passed the beginning of the tape to when the front reached the end of the tape. In order to get more accurate results we also measured the halfway point of the tape as a form of consistency. Our results concluded that people on that specific strip of cooper go considerably slower than the speed limit.

Taylor Ch, Josh W, Abby, Mary, and Elie We wanted to figure out the velocity of cars passing by our High School. We measured 30meters between two points and had people standing at both points. We also had two people recording the time it took for each car to pass: one would say go when the car passed, heading south, and the two would start their time, then stop it when it passed the second person 30m away.

Speeding Lab Kasey Ramsey James Wilczewski Thespeeding lab involves tracking the speed of cars passing in front ofIrondequoit High School and indicate whether they are speeding or not. This labwas conducted to determine how many civilians actually follow the speed limitput in place within the area around the school. In order to figure out each cars speed wecreated a detailed procedure. Before the procedure we needed a measuring tape,and stopwatch. Our first step was to create a data table to record theinformation during the procedure. After we created a set distance from one landmark to another, which was our independent variable. We measured out …

Leah, Katrina, Holly, Sarah 9/11/12 Speeding Lab 1.In the speeding lab, we were measuring the speed of cars to see if cars were going over the speed limit, which was 35 mph or 15.6 meters per second. The project was to come up with an experiment to find out how many cars were speeding on the road in front of our school. We needed to find a way to gather information so accurately determine the amount of cars speeding. 2. - We took a tape measure, a stop watch and used to rocks at spot markers. - We marked the beginning of the 30 …

Is this where we're supposed to talk about formal lab reports? I'm a little confused about the procedure section. Since there is already a procedure written out on the lab itself, are we allowed to just copy down those steps? Or are we supposed to write out our own?

We have all seen Daredevil Dave’s base diving shenanigans but it has come to the police’s attention that today’s show put more than just himself in danger. Dave is usually careful to be sure that his helicopter pilot stays above regulation height (160 meters at least) but he may have slipped up this afternoon, while base jumping in a residential area. Fines for this type of criminal activity can range up to painstaking amounts. This came to our attention after fans support claims of observing Daredevil Dave (a mass of 25 kg, including his parachute) not being able to release his parachute in time. Now, it may be true that he was just too slow during its release but the h…

Albert-the-gangsta claims that when he rounded the corner and smashed into the car of Fred-the-enemy-of-Albert-the-gangsta (parked, with Fred sitting inside), he was obeying the speed limit of 30m/s. The police decide that to be extra sure of Albert's crime they need to know if he was speeding or not. It is known that both cars weighed 950kg, the two cars locked together after impact, the wrecked cars slid 30m before coming to a stop, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road is 0.93.

CASE FILE: Overturned Automobile Intro: Mr. Montoya’s car was found off the side of a highway on-ramp, overturned and well off the road on the night of the twenty-second. Luckily, no one was injured in the accident but the car was totaled pretty badly. Problem Statement: The road on the ramp from which the car slid off was banked on a circular arc at 30 degrees. Distance from the middle of the road to the center of the arc was measured at 19.3 meters. The speed limit was posted at 30 mph and Mr. Montoya claims he was driving at the exact speed limit. Mr. Montoya now claims that the speed limit is set much too high for the curve of the turn it’s suspected that …

Introduction: Two mad gangstas,Julio and Dez, had just successfully robbed a bank together. Whilethey were running away from the police, they got separated and Juilonever received his cut of the stolen money. After a few minutes hadpassed, Julio found himself standing on top of a cliff. Perched righton the edge of the cliff was a huge boulder that looked just aboutready to fall off the edge. Stopping to catch his breath, he lookeddown to find none other than Dez standing underneath him! A gust ofwind came, the boulder swayed precariously, and… Problem Statement: The nextmorning, Dez was found underneath the boulder, dead. Did Dez die as aresult of Julio pushing the b…

Tiffany, Rob, Leana, Peter, Gabi 1. For our “Speeding Lab” we were supposed to evaluate how fast cars were going on Cooper Road in front of Irondequoit High School, and evaluate whether or not they were speeding. This project required us to use a stop watch and tape measure, measuring out 10 meters. One person timed the cars, while another recorded. We were given 10 minutes to make a plan, and then 10 minutes to find and record the data. Each group began at the same time, with the same car. 2. Step 1: Used 10 minutes to create a plan Step 2: Measured out 10 meters on the sidewalk Step 3: Waited for signal from teacher Step 4: Timed 10 different cars with…
