Ticker Tape Timer Kit for Physics Experiments

The Ticker Tape Timer Kit is a versatile tool designed for physics experiments to measure the speed of a moving cart, investigate friction forces in dynamics, and determine the acceleration rate of a falling body in a vertical position. This kit is ideal for both classroom demonstrations and individual student experiments, providing precise measurements and valuable insights into motion and forces.

Wesentliche Merkmale:

Accurate Time Measurement: The kit operates at a frequency of 50 Hz (50 cycles per second), making dots on the paper tape at intervals of 0.02 seconds. This allows for precise time measurement between successive dots.
Electromagnet with Spring-Loaded Armature: The vibrating arm, driven by the changing current in the mains supply, ensures consistent dot marking on the ticker tape.
Support Table: The carbon disc support table provides a stable surface for accurate dot placement.
4 mm Sockets: Fitted with color-coded red and black sockets at 19 mm spacing for easy connection and setup.

Anwendungen:

Speed Measurement: Measure the speed of a moving cart by analyzing the distance between dots on the ticker tape.
Friction Investigation: Study the forces of friction in dynamic systems by observing the changes in dot spacing when different surfaces or materials are used.
Acceleration Determination: Calculate the rate of acceleration for a falling body by examining the intervals between dots on the ticker tape.

Demonstration

Speed of a Moving Cart: Attach the ticker tape to a cart and release it down a track. Measure the distance between dots to determine the cart’s speed.
Friction Forces: Compare the dot spacing on ticker tapes for carts moving on different surfaces (e.g., smooth vs. rough) to study frictional forces.
Free-Fall Acceleration: Drop a weighted object with the ticker tape attached from a known height and analyze the dot pattern to calculate the acceleration due to gravity.

Tips:

Einrichten: Connect the ticker tape timer kit to a stable power source using the provided 4 mm sockets.
Load the Tape: Thread the ticker tape through the armature and support table, ensuring it is taut and aligned.
Conduct Experiments: Run your experiments, whether measuring speed, investigating friction, or determining acceleration, and observe the dot patterns on the ticker tape.
Analyze Results: Measure the distance between dots to calculate time intervals, speed, and acceleration.
