week 5

      This week in Physics i had fun! it was a little challenging but i wound my way through it. We did a hands on experiment with the cars called the t-bone challenge. We had to make sure that the cars t-boned each other at a certain point. For my group we measured the distance between the two spaces one of them was 170 and the other was 140. After that we timed how long it would take on car to reach the x mark the 170 took 4.5 sec. 140 took 4.3 secs. Then we tested the cars basically trial and error. We put one car that had the shortest distance back tire right at the line and put the longest distance right behind the line and started them at the same time and they t-boned right on the x. Although we had to prove to Mr. Abud that we got it on the first try we did pretty good as a group better than i expected.
