Measuring the distance of our cable cars

This graph shows the total distance of everyone's car cable experience. Tyler's cable car traveled the furthest with a total of 8m. Fine's car traveled the shortest distance which was 3m. For this experiment we had to use a triangular prism and a rectangular prism to make our cable cars. We cut out the templates and stuck the roof of the cable car to the straw. We then stuck the base of the cable car onto a balloon. To measure the travel distance we had to mark where our cable cars stopped. My cable car travelled 7.7m.
