Hello!
The other day in science class, we exited the school and tracked the time it took for cars to drive 50 meters. Using that, we calculated the velocity and kilometers per hour it was moving at. The aim of this was to calculate how many cars were speeding on this road, the speed limit was 50, and there were numerous speed bumps which should of temporarilly brought the speed how to 25. Any car which was going at a speed above 50kilometer super hour was speeding.
The formula we used to calculate the velocity is V=D/T (Velocity= Distance divided by Time), and to determine the kilometers per hour using the velocity, you just times the velocity by 3600 (that’s how many seconds there are in an hour)!
Here are the results to the experiment:
In conclusion, the new speedbumps are definitely doing their job!
