Issue 017: Derive equations and methods for keeping track of car kinematics #22

Closed rewolf93 closed 4 years ago

rewolf93 commented 4 years ago

I used the kinematic equation s = (at^2)/2 + vt +s0 for my calculations. This equation is only valid when acceleration is constant. In our project, acceleration is not constant. However, for very small distances, the acceleration is almost constant. Since our equation calculates distance based on time, this means that small time intervals approximate small distance intervals. I'll explain the data structures and methods more in class. The discussion in class should happen before this branch is merged into master.

Fixes #17
