Using Spark Timer Tapes to understand Kinematic Equations and Time Graphs Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to utilize spark timer tapes to analyze positions, velocity, and acceleration of two objects. Using these tape data, the resulting data will be used to create position and velocity graphs and then formulate kinematic equations to further understand the object's movement. Material: The material used in this investigation uses paper, printer, ruler, pen or pencil, tape, and scissors. Procedure: The initial step is to print out tape one and tape two provided in the lab module. Here, the tapes then need to be cut and tape two taped together. After the set up, create a notecard that has one’s name, MEID, and section number and place it alongside the tape set up to take a picture. From this, the next step is to measure, using a ruler, the distance at each 0.1 interval indicated at the black dots to begin collecting data. The data collected, from each tape, will be then entered into data tables into Excel; these data sets will be used to calculate the velocity using the velocity formula. The data collected will be used to create a position versus time graph; in addition, the calculated velocities, from the data, will be used to create a velocity time graph for both tapes. Then, the data and graph created will be analyzed to understand the movement of the object and further understand the spark timer tapes. The graphs, tables, and all data should be properly labeled and if needed explained.

A sample calculation is shown below: Formula of Velocity: ∆X/∆T, where ∆X is change in displacement and ∆T is change in time - Sample Velocity calculation from tape one: Velocity= (X3-X1)/ (T3-T1) Velocity = (4.4 cm - 0.6 cm)/(0.3 s -0.1s) = 19 cm/s Formula of Acceleration: ∆V/∆T, where ∆V is change in velocity and ∆T is change in time - Sample Acceleration calculation from tape one: Acceleration = (V4-V2)/(T4-T2) Acceleration = (19 cm/s-19 cm/s)/(0.4 s -0.2 s) = 0 cm/s/s Graphs:
