Chapter 1.1, Problem 1fT

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.

A motion that generates a sequence of evenly-spaced dots on a licker tape is called motion with constant speed. Explain the assumption about the motion that is being made when this phrase, is applied.

Discuss with your partners whether the object that generated your tape was moving with constant velocity.
