If the frequency of the ticker-timer is 20Hz, determine:
a) The velocity between AB and CD.
b) The acceleration of the trolley.

a)1tick= 1/20 =0.01s
VAB= 15cm/(5ticks x 0.01s) =15cm/0.05s
=300cm/s
VCD=30cm/(5ticks x 0.01s) =30cm/0.05s
=600cm/s.

b)42320191207.png
VAB?t=2ticks x 0.01=0.2s VCD
Therefore, acceleration=(VCD- VAB)/?t= (600-300)cms-1/0.2s =3000cms-2.
