Rubber Band Car Lab

In the use of the rubber band car, time, and distance is used. Time is a quantity that has a magnitude only and has no direction in space; known as a scalar quantity. Distance is how much ground an object has covered. In this lab, both displacement and direction are referred to as the same thing. In the lab, equations are needed for solving a given velocity, m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1) is used for slope. The slope is needed to determine initial velocity. This lab is important as it explains how velocity takes part in the time and distance of the car. In this lab, I wish to get up to 8 feet for the distance. My hypothesis is the car will not travel at a constant speed. In creating the rubber band car, materials were used. The materials were:
