The purpose of this lab was to find the acceleration of a toy car and create graphs to display this acceleration. These graphs will then be compared to graphs of what is expected for perfect constant acceleration. In order to find the acceleration of the toy car, a strip of ticker tape was attached to one of those toy cars that you pull back and move once your hand releases the car. After attaching the ticker tape and feeding the tape through the spark timer, the timer was turned and the car was pulled back and then released. In a perfect world, a distance-time graph of this perfect constant acceleration would have a curved line that gets steeper as time increases. On the other hand, the velocity-time graph would be a straight line with a
