II. MEASUREMENTS :
1• Measur. e th e d Istances
' x1 , x2 , x3 etc. and record your measurements
taken drrectly from the ticker timer tape in the second column of Table 4 1
and then complete entering the rest of the required derived q t.t. . ..

A. From an inspection your tape, can you find where your speed was
highest? Where it was lowest ? Can you find where the acceleration was
(a) greatest (b) smallest?

B. Now using Tables (4.1) and (4.2) continue the following analysis:
1. Plot on a linear graph paper x against t. Connect your plotted points with a
smooth curve. From your graph can you tell where the speed was constant?
Increasing ? Decreasing ?

3. Calculate the average speed d · g some long and shorter time interval all
with the same midpoint t m= t6 = 0.6 s. Record your results in Table (4.2) .
Do your computed value of v appear to be approaching a limiting valu~ . .
Can you tell what is the~~o~peed at the midpoint t 6 = 0.6 s ? #0

5. From your (v,t) graph read off the instantaneous speed at t = tm = 0.6 s.
How does it agree with the value obtained in part B-3. ?

7. Measure the area under your (v, t) graph between two times ti and tr
of your choice, what does this area represent ?
c
8. Now measure directly on the paper strip the distance actually moved during
the time interval from ti to fr. Compare with the answer you got in B-7.

9. Using your computed data of the erage acceleration a in Table (4.1) plot a
smooth graph of instantaneous acceleration (a) against the timet. How good
was your early guess as to the times of the greatest and the smallest
accelerations?
