Question 92

Two students attempt to measure the average speed of a radio-controlled toy car traveling along a straight outdoor pathway between two marker flags.

a.

The distance between the two flags is measured as 80 m80\text{ m}80 m. Suggest an appropriate instrument that they might use to measure this distance.

[1]
b.

The car travels from the first flag to the second flag. It takes 16 s16\text{ s}16 s to travel between the two flags.

Name an appropriate instrument that could be used to measure this time.

[1]
c.

Describe the procedure for measuring this time.

[2]
d.

Calculate the average speed of the toy car, including the unit.
