What does the fastest student time have to do with the slowest reaction time?

i mutiplied the fastest running time by the slowest reaction time and i want to know what does this represent!! also if you add the longest stopping time what does that tell you?

Source(s):

Pearson Prentice Hall, California Focus On Physical Science, Grade 8, pg.356, Lab Zone: Stopping on a DimeWhat does the fastest student time have to do with the slowest reaction time?
If you MULTIPLY fastest running time by slowest reaction time you get something of the unit seconds squared. I have no idea what that should be in this case. If you ADD the longest stopping time, you'll run into a serious problem with your units, young lady!



If you simple ADD them all you get the worst time the fastest student can score.



If you DIVIDE the SUM of slowest reaction time and the longest stopping time by the fastest running time, you'll get the maxium relative error of the messurement (assuming there are no other sources of errors).
