This document discusses using tape charts and motion graphs to analyze motion. It describes a scenario where a suspect in a hit and run case denies involvement, claiming they were driving slowly at a constant speed. However, oil spots from the suspect's car are found and can be used to create a tape chart representing the motion of the car. Tape charts are produced by a ticker-tape timer and show the time and distance of motion through a series of dots, allowing analysis of whether the motion was constant, accelerating, or decelerating.
4. Learning Competency
•Create and interpret visual
representation of the motion of
objects such as tape charts and
motion graphs (S7FE-IIIb-3
5. Activity. Doing detective work
•Supposed that you were having your on-the-job training
in a private investigating company. You were asked to
join a team assigned to investigate a ‘hit and run’ case.
The alleged suspect was captured by the CCTV camera
driving down a road leading to the place of incident. The
suspect denied the allegation, saying that he was then
driving very slowly at a constant speed. Because of the
short time difference when he was caught by the
camera and when the accident happened, he insisted
that it would be impossible that he would already be at
the place when the crime happened. B
6. Activity. Doing detective work
•But when you were viewing the scene again on the
camera, you noticed that his car was leaving oil spots
on the road. When you checked these spots on the
site, you found out that they were still evident. So, you
began to wonder if the spots can be used to
investigate the motion of the car of the suspect and
check whether he was telling the truth or not.
•Assume that the dots on the tape below represent the
‘oil drops’ left by the car down the road
7. Ticker - Tape Chart
• Also known as ticker tape diagram
• it is produced by a ticker-tape timer
• A ticker-tape timer records the time of motion and distance traveled
by a moving body. A paper tape is placed under a carbon disc beneath
the clapper of the timer. As the body moves, it pulls the paper tape
with it. When the timer is switched on, the clapper moves up and
down regularly and strikes the carbon disc. Dots are then printed on
the moving paper tape beneath the carbon disc

A ticker-tape timer records
the time of motion and

body.
9. The trace of the dots in the tape charts
provides a history of the motion of an object
The distance between the dots on a tape chart
represents the change of position of an object at a
time interval.

object with a constant velocity, deceleration, or
acceleration
Editor's Notes
Many of the things around us move. Motion is the process of moving an object from one place to another. It can be described in many ways: by using words, diagrams, numerical information, and equation. This lesson will focus on the visual representation of motion through ticker tape diagrams.

The trace of the dots in the tape charts provides a history of the motion of an object; thus, it can represent the motion of an object.
The distance between the dots on a tape chart represents the change of position of an object at a time interval.
A large distance between the dots means the object was moving fast during a time interval.
On the contrary, a 8 small distance between the dots indicates that the object moved slowly during the time interval
A large distance between the dots means the object was moving fast during a time interval.
A small distance between the dots indicates that the object moved slowly during the time interval
The dots on the tape chart shows the motion of an object with a constant velocity, deceleration, or acceleration. The interpretation of the motion of an object depends on the distance between the dots during a specific time interval.
An equal distance between the dots indicates constant velocity or when an object is moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration.
A gradual change of the distance between dots that gets smaller means the object slows down which indicates that the object is decelerates.
If the distance between dots gradually gets longer, it means the object speeds up or accelerates.
Thus, the tape chart can represent various features of the motion of objects.
