Activity Overview
Since running a race car is VERY expensive, race engineers know a great deal about how speed, time and distance relate.
In this activity, you will investigate the relationship between distance traveled, speed and elapsed time. You will create a picture in the form of a graph from which you can make predictions relating to these measurements.
