                The speed limit on Cooper Road in front of the high school is 35 mph. as part of an Irondequoit Police Department safety project, your team has been asked to gather data about the speeds of cars driving down cooper road using a stop watch and a tape measure.

  1. We stretched out the tape measure so that we could get a distance of ten meters.
  2. As a car would pass, we would start the stop watch at the beginning of the ten meters, then stop it as it passed the end of the ten meters.
  3. The color of the car and the license plate were recorded as the car passed.
  4. We collected times for ten different cars.
  5. Then we averaged the times of the two readings, then found the speed of the cars going by.
  6. Lastly, we made a graph out of the data collected.
