Time 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 (seconds) Displacement (cm) Now that we have recorded our data we are going to cut up the ticker tape. Cut the tape every second line you drew (at every tenth point). Remember to label each segment. For instance the first piece represents the 1st second; label it 1. The second piece represents the 2nd second; label it 2. What do you notice about the length of the pieces? ____________________________________ Finishing our handout: Pull out your handout from the first ticker tape lab. Draw and label the axis on the back side. This will be a second position time graph. Arrange your tape segments accordingly. Compare these two position time graphs. What is different? _____________________________ Why are they different? __________________________________________________________ Creating a 2nd Distance Time Graph – Plot the data points from your data table on the following graph paper. Remember the x axis is for time and the y axis is for position (displacement). You should have 10 data points. Draw a curved line of best fit for your graph. Why is this distance-time graph not straight? _________________________________________ ____________
