I don’t have Table B from your Student Guide. Please either paste the data here (time & position or time & velocity for each fan speed), or upload a photo/screenshot of Table B.
If you want to calculate it yourself, here are the methods — give me the numbers and I’ll compute and round to the nearest tenth for you.
1) If the table gives velocity vs time for each fan speed:
- Compute acceleration as the slope: a = Δv / Δt. If you have several (t, v) pairs, do a linear fit or take the average slope between consecutive points. Units will be cm/s².
2) If the table gives position (displacement) vs time and the cart starts from rest at x = 0:
- Fit x(t) to x = 1/2 a t² (if initial velocity ≈ 0). Then a = 2 x / t² for each data point (or do a best-fit over all points).
- If initial velocity or initial position are not zero, fit x(t) = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t² and solve for a (using least-squares or three data points).
3) If you have only times to reach certain distances, you can compute average velocity segments v = Δx / Δt, then find a from slopes of those velocities vs time.
Paste the table and I’ll compute the Low, Medium, and High accelerations and round them to the nearest tenth of a cm/s².
