Part A
In this experiment, the ticker tape is used to determine the trolley’s velocity.
The ticker timer that is used makes 50 ticks per second.
Starting from the first clearly marked tick, the tape that is obtained is cut into six cuttings,
each comprising 10 ticks. The tapes are as follows:
(b) Based on the measurement l for the first cutting, calculate the velocity v for the first
cutting. This is the average velocity for the time t = 0.1 second.

(c) Based on the given diagram, record the value l for five other cuttings and calculate the
corresponding velocity v. Tabulate the your results for l and v in the spaces provided
below:
t/s l / cm v / cm s-1
0.1
0.3
0.5
0.7

(d) Based on your table, draw the graph of v against t on the graph paper provided.

(e) From your graph, determine k, which is the gradient of the graph whose value equals
the acceleration a.

A student carries out an experiment to study the relationship between the image distance v
and magnification M. The student uses a converging lens with a focal length of f for this
experiment.
The student uses different image distances, v, and records the corresponding magnification
M. Then, the student plots the graph of v against M, as shown in the above figure.
(a) Based on the graph in the above figure,
(i) state the relationship between v and M

(b) By using the gradient value that is obtained in (a)(iii), find an equation that links v and
M.
