while babysitting their younger brother, chrisso and devin are playing with toys. they notice that the squishy piglet slows down in a repeatable way when they push it along the smooth wooden floor. they propose a hypothesis that the toy slows down with a constant acceleration, which does not depend on the toy’s initial velocity. for each of five different initial speeds, they measure the distance traveled by the toy from the time they stop pushing it to the time the toy stops moving, and they measure the corresponding time interval. their data are presented below
experiment# distance(m) times
1 0.96 0.65
2 2.84 1.12
3 1.72 0.87
4 2.53 1.05
5 0.62 0.53
part b determine the average acceleration of piglet.
part c determine the maximum speed with which chrisso and devin push piglet. express your answer with the appropriate units.
