VELOCITY Mech 3 I. Motion with constant speed Each person in your group should obtain a ruler and at least one ticker tape segment from the staff. All the tape segments were generated using the same ticker timer. Do not write on or fold the tapes. If a ticker timer is available, examine it so that you are familiar with how it works. A. Describe the motion represented by your segment of tape. Explain your reasoning. B. Compare your tape segment with those of your partners. How does the time taken to generate one of the short tape segments compare to the time taken to generate one of the long tape segments? Explain your answer. Describe how you could use your answer above to arrange the tape segments in order by speed. C. Suppose the ticker timer that made the dots strikes the tape every 1/60th of a second. How far did the object that generated your tape segment move in: 1/60th of a second? 2/60th of a second? 3/60th of a second? Explain your answer. Predict how far the object would move in; I second, 1/120th of a second, Explain the assumption(s) you used to make your predictions. D. In your own words, describe a procedure you could use to calculate the speed of an object. E. Determine the speed of the object that generated each of your tapes. Record your answers below
