Gears and Speed


In the gears and speed investigation we had to determine which of the two hypotheses given to use were correct, or at least which had a greater percent of accuracy.The correct hypothesis was found by compairing gear ratios and the distance traveled over three seconds of movement with 100% motor power and averaging them to find the average distance traveled, and then dividing by three (the amount of time) to produce the average speed.The hypothesis that ended up being correct was B because it didnt have that much error.
