Analysis and Answer to Question:
Because the time it takes for each dune buggy to cross 1 meter varies very slightly and there is no constant acceleration trend that can be seen from the data, I have determined the dune buggies to be traveling at a pretty constant velocity with no acceleration.
Error Analysis:
Because the time is being recorded by humans, there is a profound room for error. This could of been corrected by using motion sensor gates to get more precise readings. Another possibility for room for error is the time at which both buggies are released as well as their angle of movement. And of course, air resistance could of been an although minute, source of error
In general for objects larger than a coin, air resistance is insignificant in terms of adding to the error of a physics experiment (unless we're dropping something high enough to reach terminal velocity, but that is not the case for this lab) The angle of movement is a more significant source of error for this lab. Motion gates would be a good solution to the largest sources of error for this lab.
