It doesn't. This is a source of experimental error in tickertape experiments. Eg, if you are attempting to measure the acceleration due to gravity (g), a ticker tape experiment with large amounts of friction will yield values of g less than 9.8 m/s2. This is because frictional forces will oppose the motion - which is driven by the force downwards due to gravity. Hence the overall force on the moving object (tickertape included) will be less than the gravitational force, and hence the observed acceleration will be less than that due to gravity (g) - due to the slowing affect of the friction.

How does a ticker timer work?

The unit works by energising an electromagnet which pulls a stylus down onto a carbon disc and thence through to paper tape. The unit produces 50 dots per second and from the resulting pattern the velocity of the tape may be calculated. The standard ticker tape timer operates from 6V ac and derives its timing from a half wave rectified signal. The universal unit operates from 6V ac or 12V dc. The timing signal is produced electronically within the unit.


Does tape have low friction?

Tape can have low friction depending on the type of material used to make it. Some types of tape are designed to have low friction properties, which can help reduce resistance and make it easier for objects to slide past each other.


Will tape cause friction to wheels of a mousetrap car?

Yes, tape can cause friction on the wheels of a mousetrap car, especially if it is not smooth or if there are imperfections in the tape. It is important to use low-friction materials to ensure that the mousetrap car can move smoothly and efficiently.


If an object has a fast velocity the dots on a ticker tape diagram will be what?

The dots on the ticker tape will be spaced farther apart if the object has a fast velocity. The distance between the dots represents the object's displacement over time, so a faster velocity leads to a greater distance traveled in a given time interval, resulting in more widely spaced dots on the tape.


How does friction effects peed on a skateboard?

I hope you mean speed, if not I'm at a loss for words. Friction effects both the contact between the wheels and the ground, as well as your shoe and the grip tape. You would like a high coefficient of static friction between the ground and your wheels so you don't end up skidding, fishtailing, and later flat-out falling down. Also, you would want a medium-level coefficient of kinetic friction and possible a medium-high coefficient of static friction between the grip tape and your shoe in order to grip the board, yet still be able to slide your foot for flip tricks. If the coefficient of static friction between the grip tape and your board is too high, it won't flip properly as it might overflip or flip on an unusual axis if it were to be too low. As you use the grip tape, both coefficients will decrease because the grains on the grip tape will be smaller and easier to pass over with a lesser repelling force of friction.
