Calculate the acceleration of the car for each set of conditions using the formula
a = (v2 – v1) / (t2 – t1)
where v2 and v1 are the first and second velocities and t1 and t2 are the average times the car took to reach the 0.25 and the 0.50 meter marks. Acceleration is reported in m/s2. Record these accelerations, to two decimal places, in Table E.
The acceleration for the car with one washer is
m/s2.
The acceleration for the car with two washers is
m/s2.
The acceleration for the car with three washers is
m/s2.
The acceleration for the car with four washers is
m/s2.
