Ticker tape timer
Product Description
A Ticker Tape Timer is a mechanical or electromechanical device used in laboratories and educational settings to measure time intervals by marking a continuous ticker tape at regular increments. It works by producing dots or punches on the tape, allowing precise tracking of elapsed time during experiments involving motion, reaction times, or other time-dependent processes. The timer is compatible with standard ticker tapes and provides an analog method for recording temporal data, facilitating analysis of speed, acceleration, or time durations in physics and other scientific experiments.
Uses
Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications
- Measuring time intervals in kinematics and motion experiments.
