The track ends with a "ramp" so they measure the distance to landing and use projectile motion to get the velocity as it leaves the track.

Introduced projectile motion by using it to find the final velocity of the car when it shot off the end of the ramp. Then revising energies to work out the average resistance over the loop the loop.

I found the exact same when my 11s did it in September. Need to push the negative factors.

Yeah I've always found splitting the middle felt like some hand wavey nonsense. Like, I know why it works but it never felt natural.

I mean... just stick it in a calculator and get the solutions.

I've used grids for division for years. Love a new application.

I found that they dint have the patience to list out the factors.

I got very excited when I saw why it worked.

There's a free digital download somewhere. If yiu can't find it, let me know cos I've got the pdf somewhere.
