Members of your team will take turns being the "runner".

Determine:

1. The fastest speed the runner can run.

2. The time it takes for the runner to stop from full speed.

3. The acceleration of the runner stopping.

4. Why acceleration is different for each runner.

Submit a report that includes:

1. Cover sheet (names, date, title)

2. Introduction (completely explain what this experiment is to accomplish)

3. Plan (a detailed explanation of how you plan to solve the problem or answer the question)

4. Results (all your data, calculations, and/or graphs)

5. Interpretation (discuss your results and make some inferences.. see number 4 above) [very important section!]

6. Conclusion (what you learned and how you might improve your experiment)

Hints:

1. show all data and make sure I can follow your calculations (include equations)!!

2. make sure to include all units.

3. do not just do 1 run for each person... use averaging to be accurate.

4. remember, 1 foot = 0.305 meters; 50 feet = 15.25 meters

5. you will need sidewalk chalk and a stop watch for this experiment
