Question 1 A ramp is made by leaning a track against a few textbooks. A cart is set on the track and rolls down the ramp. Below on the left is a picture of this setup. Below on the right is the position and time data of the cart moving down the ramp. Position from top of ramp (mm) Average time (s) 0.00 100 0.48 200 0.68 300 0.84 400 0.97 500 1.08 600 1.18 700 1.28 800 1.37 900 1.45 1000 1.53 (a) Estimate the Distance of the cart at 1.41 seconds. Write your answer in meters (m). (b) A car is travelling at 80 m Calculate how far does the car travel in 160 minutes? (c) Sketch a Position-Time graph of this data. Plot the Position data in centimeters, and plot the Time data in seconds.
