Speed Lab
Objective: To determine the speed of a constant motion object.
Procedure:
We began by placing 150 cm measure tape on the ground. Then, we recorded the time it took
the electric car to travel the 150cm. This was done three times. After, we went to the field and recorded
how long it took for (Nelson) to run 10 yards. We did this three times.

Conclusion (+Error Analysis):
Error Analysis:
(|34.11-36.12|)/34.11 = 5.8% error

This lab shows the constant motion of the subjects of the two investigations done: Nelson running/jogging (10 yards) and the motion of a toy car (150 cm). We did three repetitions of the two investigations. The three reps for each of the tests had slightly different speeds, most likely from errors made: difference between the time recording(starting and ending) and the car running , the difference in distance run.
