Finding Maximum Velocity
In this activity you will have a car start from rest and accelerate to a top speed and then immediately start slowing down.
From the position time graph, you are to determine the time when the car hit its maximum velocity and then you are to determine that velocity.
When you are ready to start, hit the begin button.
