This ticker tape timer has everything needed in one box, including a wall plug adapter so no power supply is needed. This timer is the time tested way for students to visualize distance, velocity, and acceleration versus time. Hook this to a car on an inclined plane ramp, and get a visualization of acceleration caused by gravity, seen by the spacing between spots on the tape. A vibrating striker prints dots on the tape using carbon paper disks at a selectable rate of 25 or 40 dots per second. The unit is housed in a durable, scratch-proof and shock absorbing plastic case with a unique method of adjusting the position of the carbon disk.
