To calculate the average time it took the car to travel 0.25 and 0.50 meters with three washers attached to the pulley, you will need to take several measurements and then calculate the average.
For example, let's say you measured the following times for the car to travel 0.25 meters with three washers attached: 1.2 seconds, 1.3 seconds, and 1.1 seconds. The average time would be:
(1.2 + 1.3 + 1.1) / 3 = 1.2 seconds
Similarly, if you measured the following times for the car to travel 0.50 meters with three washers attached: 2.4 seconds, 2.5 seconds, and 2.3 seconds. The average time would be:
(2.4 + 2.5 + 2.3) / 3 = 2.4 seconds
Remember to round your averages to two decimal places when recording them in Table C of your Student Guide.
