Rocket Hotwheels Cars

The objective to this project was to find the acceleration, instantaneous speed, velocity and the average speed of the car for five meters. The tracks distance oftwenty feet  is broken up into 5 sections so we can find the speed at each one by getting the times of displacement between each photogate.This project goes over the do's and don'ts of making a rocket car, even though the mistakes were pretty fun to watch.
