Here are the solutions to the problem: Step 1: Measure and record raw velocities and times. a) (i) Measure and record raw velocities V_1, V_2, V_3, V_4, V_5 in centimetres. Based on visual estimation from Figure 4a: V_1 ≈ 5.0 cm V_2 ≈ 4.0 cm V_3 ≈ 3.0 cm V_4 ≈ 2.0 cm V_5 ≈ 1.0 cm a) (ii) Read and record the corresponding times t_1, t_2, t_3, t_4, t_5 in seconds. From Figure 4b: t_1 = 1 s t_2 = 2 s t_3 = 3 s t_4 = 4 s t_5 = 5 s Step 2: Convert raw velocities to actual velocities. a) (iii) Convert the raw velocities recorded in (i) into actual velocities U_1, U_2, U_3, U_4, U_5 using the scale: 1 cm = 2 m/s. The conversion formula is U = V × 2 m/s/cm. U_1 = 5.0 cm × 2 m/s/cm = 10.0 m/s U_2 = 4.0 cm × 2 m/s/cm = 8.0 m/s U_3 = 3.0 cm × 2 m/s/cm = 6.0 m/s U_4 = 2.0 cm × 2 m/s/cm = 4.0 m/s U_5 = 1.0 cm × 2 m/s/cm = 2.0 m/s
