IB PHYSICS > PRACTICAL WORK > IB IA EXPERIMENTS [|IA criteria checklist.doc] - always a good idea to look at this before submitting your work. =PRACTICAL: DETERMINE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY WITH A TICKER TIMER=

APPARATUS:
Ticker timer and mass attached to tape.

PROCEDURE:
Teacher will demonstrate method of dropping a mass attached to a ticker tape through a ticker timer. Divide the tape into five-tick lengths. Calculate for each length the average speed of the tape. Plot v-t to check whether the acceleration was uniform. Use two tapes to calculate the acceleration of the mass and compare it with the accepted value of g.
