    When listing "Sources of Error" in your lab write-up: - Give SPECIFIC examples of sources of error, and describe their probable effect on your results. Some examples that relate to specific labs: o The ruler scale is limited to measure to 1 mm o The effects of friction between the ticker tape and the recording timer were not accounted for

  3. What is the uncertainty of a 60 Hz ticker timer?

    Now i just had a lab last week, where we had to calculate acceleration and talk about motion using data we got from a ticker timer. One of the requirements of the report is to find and talk about uncertainty of the ticker timer. The ticker timer is a 60 Hz one so it *should* tick 60 times a second.

    LAB ACTIVITY Purpose: To determine the period and frequency of the ticker-tape timer. Apparatus: - period timer - ticker tape, carbon disk - stopwatch Method: 1. Set up the timer and with it OFF, practice pulling the tape through the timer at a constant speed. 2. Draw a line approximately 10 cm from each end of the tape and using the stop

  5. Using the ticker-timer to measure time

    Switch it off at the stop signal. Count the number of dot-to-dot spaces between the start and the stop. That is the time between the signals, measured in ticks. Use a fresh piece of tape, and a stopwatch or stopclock. Pull the tape through the ticker-timer for 3 seconds. Find out how many ticks there are in 3 seconds.

  6. Determining the velocity and acceleration of a body using a ticker Tape

    A ticker timer is vibrating at 10Hz. Calculate the time taken if the timer prints 21 dots. Example: A ticker timer prints 11 dots at 20Hz in a space of 2m. Calculate the average speed. Note: In experiments with ticker timer being pushed by a trolley, the first dots are ignored because they are overcrowded for accurate measurements.

  11. Verification of Newton's Second Law Using a Tickertape

    Measure the mass, m of the trolley. 3. Cut a length of tickertape (about 1m), attach to the trolley. 4. Hang a mass holder, as shown. This has a mass of 10g and therefore pulls the trolley with a force of 0.098N down the slope. With the tickertape timer running allow the trolley to be pulled down the slope.

    Procedure: Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 1. Plug the lead into the first AC terminal on the transformer and into the first terminal of the ticker tape timer. Repeat step 2 onto the second AC terminal of the transformer and ticker tape timer. Turn on the transformer and listen if the sound is moderately loud, turn it off once finished ...

  14. Ticker Timer Experiment: Calculating Displacement, Velocity & Acceleration

    To calculate displacement, velocity, and acceleration using a ticker timer, we use the following formulas: Displacement = (distance between dots) x (number of dots) Velocity = (displacement) / (time interval) Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time interval) By plugging in the values measured from the ticker timer experiment, we can easily ...

    Ticker Timers. Another way of analysing motion in a physics lab is to use ticker tape; A long tape is attached to a moving trolley and threaded through a device that places a tick upon the tape at regular intervals of time; The ticker timer will produce a certain number of dots per second on the tape, which will travel at the same speed as the ...

  17. schoolphysics ::Welcome::

    The ticker timer makes dots on a paper tape every fiftieth of a second. So if a piece of tape is pulled through the timer for a second there will be 50 dots on it. Since the spaces between the dots take such a short time (1/50 s) the ticker timer is a very useful instrument for measuring short intervals of time. ...

  18. Ticker Tape Motion

    Ticker Tape Motion. The ticker tape timer works by making dots on a paper tape at equal time intervals (approximately every 0.1s in this experiment). It is an excellent way for beginning physics students to experience the measurement of motion. Students will record and graph the motion of a car that moves with constant acceleration.

    u = dist / time = 0.02m/0.02s = 1 m/s. v = dist / time = 0.04m/0.02s = 2 m/s. To find acceleration, we can use a = (v-u)/t , but the time, t, taken for the increase in velocity is where most students will make a mistake. Many will take 7 intervals to calculate the t, which is wrong. But the intervals should be 6, starting from the middle of ...
