[Physltest] [Phys-L] Re: PasPort photogates

[Bernard Cleyet <anngeorg@PACBELL.NET>]

I'm a Vernier person, so this may be off the wall, but ...

The clue is the one cm.  Time the first one cm blockage; this is the
speed (millis/ cm); time the second one.. Subtract and divide by the
distance between the two gates.

Voila!
