Concept explainers
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.
E. Determine the speed of the object that generated each of your tapes. Record your answers below.
Give an interpretation of the speed of the object, i.e., explain the meaning of the number you just calculated. Do not use the word “speed” in your answer. (Hint: Which of the distances that you calculated in part C is numerically equal to the speed?)
Write the speed of the object that generated each tape on a small piece of paper and attach the paper to the tape. Express your answer in terms of centimeters and seconds.

- What are the different methods used to generate timing signals and which method is better according to your opinion and whyarrow_forwardMr. H is preparing to show the class a Strobe demonstration when he realizes that his absent-mindedness has struck once more. He left the strobe on the counter in the back of the lab after the last class period. Starting 1.0 meter from the front of the room, Mr. H walks quickly to the back of the lab, picks up the strobe and returns to the middle of the classroom. The position-time graph below represents his motion. Use the graph to answer the next several questions. a. What is the total distance walked by Mr. H during these 8.0 seconds?b. What is the average speed of Mr. H during these 8.0 seconds?c. What is the average velocity of Mr. H during these 8.0 seconds?d. How fast did Mr. H walk during the first 5.0 seconds?e. How fast did Mr. H walk during the last 3.0 seconds?arrow_forwardHi, I truly need help with part A and part B is there any chance that you can help me how to do this problem because I keep getting the wrong answer as well. Also can you them label so I know which one is which and I know how you did the steps thank you so mucharrow_forward
- Can you please explain a bit more of whats happening in step 2?arrow_forwardSKIP THIS IF YOU ALREADY ANSWERED THIS. I WILL ONLY UPVOTE IF IT IS TYPEWRITTEN. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DO IT COMPLETELY. DOWNVOTE IF YOU ANSWERED THIS AGAIN. THANK YOUarrow_forwardplease convert the final answer not in mks(SI). and please teach me how to convert SI units to normal Narrow_forward
- Confused on a b and c . If you can provide labels and step by steps that would really be helpfularrow_forwardPlease answer B clearly po. I often upload my question multiple times because I can’t understand what’s written because of the font. Thank you po!arrow_forwardA bug starts at the center of a 12 inch phonograph record and crawls along a straight radial line to the edge. While this is happening, the record turns through an angle of 45°. Draw a sketch of the situation and describe the magnitude and direction of the bug’s final displacement from its starting point. Show the Figure/FBD, given, scale drawing and formula usedarrow_forward
- In the second set of problems below, you will be given the force applied to an object and the acceleration of that object, and then will need to solve for mass, using the equation m = F/a. In other words, you will need to divide the force by the acceleration to calculate the mass. Show your work in the space provided. Be sure to state the proper units in your answer and state each answer to the nearest tenth of a unit, to match the accuracy of the measurements. An object accelerates 3.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?arrow_forwardIn the figure below is shown a picture of a string at a time t1. The pieces of the string are each moving with velocities which are indicated by arrows in the picture. (The vertical displacements are small and don't show up in the picture.)Below are shown five graphs which could give the shape of the string at the instant for which the velocities are displayed above. (Note: the vertical scale magnifies the displacement by a factor of 100.)For each of the cases A - E choose whether the string that has that position graph and the velocity pattern at the top is moving as a: (L) left-traveling wave (R) right traveling wave (S+) a standing wave increasing in amplitude (S-) a standing wave decreasing in amplitude (N) none of the above.1. For graph A: ---Select--- L R S+ S- N2. For graph B: ---Select--- L R S+ S- N3. For graph C: ---Select--- L R S+ S- N4. For graph D: ---Select--- L R S+ S- N5. For graph E: ---Select--- L R S+ S- Narrow_forwardStuck on this one. Please explain the steps and logic used to solve it, and be clear about the units.arrow_forward
