Photogate Bar Tape Guide
For use with Bar Tape and Photogate Bar Tape Kit.
The Bar Tape Guide contains an adapter that allows Bar Tape to be used with a Vernier Photogate. Bar Tape is 3 m long, and it has alternating opaque and transparent bars that have a spacing of 1.524 cm. The tape can be attached to objects and pulled through the photogate. This allows you to perform experiments much like what you would do with a “ticker tape timer”.
Experiments include
- Studying the motion of a toy car
- Studying the motion of other toys, e.g., air powered rockets
- Studying the motion of a person as they hold the tape and walk away from the photogate
