Question

A ticker timer 50dots per second. When a body is pulled by a tap through the timer, the distance between the third and fourth dot is 3cm and the distance between fourth and fifth dot is 4cm.What is the acceleration of the body?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Time for one dot = 1 /50 = .02 s

Distance between 3 rd and fourth dot is 3 cm and time taken to travel this distance is .02 s

velocity = 3 cm / .02 = 150 cm /s

Distance between 4 th and 5 th  dot is 4 cm and time taken to travel this distance is .02 s

velocity = 4 cm / .02 = 200 cm /s

change in velocity = 200 cm/s  - 150cm/s = 50 cm /s

Time taken = .02 s

Acceleration = 50 / .02 cm/s²

= 2500 cm/s²
