Explain why you usually can’t use just a single spectral line to confirm the identity of an element.

You can't usually just use a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined. When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
