A student investigates skateboarding down a slope. She times how long it takes her to skateboard between two lines on a sloping pavement. She varies the distance between the two lines and records her results in a table.
Distance s/m time t/s
Distance 2 Time 2.32
Distance 4 Time 4.23
Distance 9 Time 8.22
Distance 11 Time 9.53
The student read that the equation which might relate to the motion of the skateboard is
X = Ut + ½ at2
(a) What conclusions do you draw from the results above.
(b) What factors influences the results.
