  1. In our group, 16% 23% and 25% were very high percent error results. This is due to the fact that we didn't have a very good form of measuring time. With the stop watches that we used, it is easy to miscalculate and press the start and stop button at the perfect time. If we could set up this experiment again, we would use motion sensor equipment to time when we left the ground and returned exactly. we would also have a measuring tool such as a newer tape measure that isn't old and worn to measure how high we were so our results would be more accurate. If we have better times and meaurements it would be much easier and we would have less of error.

  2. 1. the speeding lab is to determine the average speed of cars traveling down cooper road by measuring the meters per second. We are trying to see if cars are speeding and the general average speed down the road.

    2. First we measured out 30 meters down the sidewalk. one person stood at 20 meters and another at 30 meters. we measured the times at both places and recorded for 10 different cars. Then we used the equation v=d/t to find the speed and after we calculated the average speed.

  3. Im juliana and sorry my last name is in my username i forgot :(. But im a senior and looking forward to the end of high school and going to college. I like math and art but dont really know what i want to study/major in. I enjoy taking naps, listening to music and hanging out with friends.

    Im taking physics this year because it will look good for colleges but also because i have heard its more math-related so im hoping ill do well. Science has never been my strong class but im hoping that it will be fun this year and i will get a lot of of it. I hope to learn why things do what they do and the basics behind all of that. Im excited for labs because i have a feeling they will be more interesting than what i remember from chemistry :D
