interrupt time data from a photogate by a clock pendulum is very
noisy. In order to analyze and display (graph), it's necessary to
"smooth" it (Kaleidograph's word for average). It's intuitive that
one should square then average instead of the reverse order.
Otherwise there is a cross product,** no? Also it's convenient first
to smooth the speed data. Should one smooth the raw (interrupted
time) data before inverting, or invert and then smooth? The two do
not result in the same value. Of course the difference is very
small, as the difference between successive data is very small
(otherwise any noise would not be obvious!).
