How can you use a ticker tape timer in describing motion graphically?
1 answer:
Ticker Tape analysis is a common way of analyzing the motion of the objects to perform in the physics laboratory. A long tape is attached to a moving object and threaded through a device that places a tick upon the tape at regular intervals of time. This ticker tape can also determine if the object is fast or slow. It can also reveal if the object is moving with a constant velocity or accelerating. The changing velocity and acceleration represented by the changing distance between dots in the ticker tape. And also the constant velocity and therefore no acceleration represent the constant distance between dots.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.
The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m
The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²
The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s
Answer: 1.375 s
