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.

How does a Ticker tape timer compensate friction?

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 clockwork egg timer work?

A clockwork egg timer works by using a spring mechanism that slowly unwinds over a set amount of time. When the timer is set, the spring tightens, causing the timer to count down until the spring fully unwinds and a bell or chime alerts that the time is up.


How does a traffic light timer work?

A traffic light timer works by cycling through a predetermined sequence of colors (red, yellow, green) at set intervals. The timings for each color are programmed based on factors like traffic patterns and road design. The timer helps regulate traffic flow and provide a predictable signal for drivers and pedestrians.


Can you think of another way to determine acceleration of the cart?

One way to determine acceleration of the cart is by using a motion sensor to measure the change in velocity over time. Another way is to use a ticker timer to track the position of the cart at different time intervals and calculate the acceleration based on the change in velocity over those intervals.

What is the power supply for ticker timer?

Our basic ticker tape timer is AC synchronous, producing dots at precise intervals every 1/60thsecond making precision measurements possible in all kinematics experiments. The body is finished. And requires a 6 V AC or 110 V AC source. Supplied with one roll of 13 MM x 154 MM and package of carbon disc.
