1. Average time for the first 0.25 m: 2.23 s
Step-by-step explanation:
The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25 m is given by the average of the first three measures, so:
![t=(2.24s+2.21s+2.23s)/(3)=2.227 s=2.23 s](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/odpluuiv9s0p4di6s6b5l68xojrmjmv6zt.png)
2. Average time to travel between 0.25 m and 0.50 m: 0.90 s
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need to calculate the time the car takes to travel between 0.25 m and 0.50 m for each trial:
t1 = 3.16 s - 2.24 s = 0.92 s
t2 = 3.08 s - 2.21 s = 0.87 s
t3 = 3.15 s - 2.23 s = 0.92 s
So, the average time is
![t=(0.92 s + 0.87 s + 0.92 s)/(3)=0.903 s=0.90 s](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/i07dnlt1fn142dqn1iya5zfd186jxtu6k9.png)
3. Velocity in the second 0.25 m section: 0.28 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The average velocity in the second 0.25 m section is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (0.25 m) and the average time taken (0.90 s):
![v=(d)/(t)=(0.25 m)/(0.90 s)=0.28 m/s](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/physics/high-school/t089f8h3j4efzd2ows5fg1yfarl6gkpu81.png)
