I performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 60 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = .67 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 1178.56 cm, mass of car = .54 kg, based off this informatrion..... Calculate the deceleration for the car from the end of the ramp to the cars stopping point: d = (1/2) a t^2, (Correction) for this calculation d = horizontal length the car travels from the edge of the ramp to stopping.

Question

I performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 60 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = .67 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 1178.56 cm, mass of car = .54 kg, based off this informatrion.....

Calculate the deceleration for the car from the end of the ramp to the cars stopping point: d = (1/2) a t^2, (Correction) for this calculation d = horizontal length the car travels from the edge of the ramp to stopping.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here the total distance traveled by toy car in 0.67s should be equal to the horizontal distance measured.
