Spark Timer Acceleration Lab
Finding Acceleration from Position and Velocity Graphs
The Essential Question
What is the acceleration of your fan cart (or pull-back truck)?
By the end of the lab, you should be able to answer this with a number and with graph evidence to back it up.
Quick Refresher: Acceleration
Acceleration = how quickly velocity is changing.
- Velocity constant → acceleration is zero
- Velocity increasing → acceleration is positive (speeding up)
- Velocity decreasing → acceleration is negative (slowing down)
Today we find acceleration by studying how position and velocity change over time.
A spark timer leaves a dot on paper tape at perfectly regular time intervals.
- Our timer runs at 60 Hz → one dot every 1/60 s ≈ 0.0167 s
- The cart drags tape through the timer as it moves
- The spacing of the dots tells you about the motion
Dots evenly spaced → constant velocity.
Dots getting farther apart → accelerating.
Two Parts
Part 1: Collect spark-timer data. Graph position vs. time by hand.
Part 2: Enter your data into Graphical Analysis. Use the tangent tool to find velocities, then graph velocity vs. time to find your acceleration.
Part 1: Reading the Tape
- Pick a clear starting dot. Label it $t = 0$, position $= 0$.
- Measure the position of each later dot from the starting dot — not from the previous one.
- Record time and position in your lab notebook.
You can use every 2nd, 3rd, or 5th dot to keep your data manageable. Stay consistent, and adjust your time values accordingly.
Part 1: The Hand-Drawn Graph
Plot position (cm) on the $y$-axis and time (s) on the $x$-axis.
- Label both axes — variable name and units
- Choose a scale that fills most of the page
- Draw a smooth curve through the points — do not connect the dots with straight segments
Expect a curve if your object is accelerating.
Part 2: Into Graphical Analysis
- Create two columns: Time and Position
- Enter the same data you used for your hand graph
- Plot Position vs. Time — it should come out as a curve, not a straight line
The tangent at a point on a curve has a slope equal to the instantaneous velocity at that moment.
\[v = \text{slope of the tangent on the } x\text{-}t \text{ graph}\]
Use the tangent tool at 5 or 6 points spread across your curve. Record each (time, velocity) pair in your lab notebook.
Finding Your Acceleration
Now plot your velocity vs. time data in Graphical Analysis.
Add a linear best-fit line.
\[a = \text{slope of the } v\text{-}t \text{ graph}\]
That slope — with units like cm/s² or m/s² — is your object’s acceleration.
Safety First
- Spark timers use high voltage. Keep fingers and metal objects away from the contacts while the timer is running.
- Turn the timer off before loading or unloading tape.
- Keep the tape path clear so it doesn’t whip or catch.
- Don’t let carts launch off the lab bench.
In Your Lab Notebook
- Title, Question, Purpose
- Your procedure for both parts
- Position-time table + hand-drawn position-time graph (Part 1)
- Velocity-time table from the tangent tool (Part 2)
- Printouts (or sketches) of both computer graphs
- The equation of your v-t best-fit line
- Your acceleration, with units
- Answers to all Analysis questions
- Conclusion that directly answers the Question
Go Time
Choose your object: fan cart or pull-back truck.
Start with Part 1 — take your time on the tape measurements. Good data now saves pain in Part 2.
Let’s find some acceleration.

Dune Buggy Lab 2
Position, Direction, and Negative Motion
Quick Recap: Lab 1
In the first Dune Buggy Lab, you:
- Measured distance at different times
- Created a distance vs. time graph
- Found the equation of your best-fit line
- Used your equation to predict a time
Your graph went upward and your slope was positive.
A Question About Lab 1
You sent your buggy down the hallway and measured how far it went.
But think about this: if two buggies start at the same spot and travel the same distance but in opposite directions…
Are they in the same place?
Distance vs. Position
| |
Distance |
Position |
| Answers |
How far? |
Where? |
| Direction? |
No |
Yes |
| Sign |
Always positive |
Positive or negative |
Distance tells you how far something traveled.
Position tells you where something is.
An Example
Imagine you stand at a piece of tape on the floor.
You walk 3 meters to the right.
- Distance traveled: 3 m
- Position: +3 m
Now start over. Walk 3 meters to the left.
- Distance traveled: 3 m
- Position: -3 m
Same distance. Very different positions.
What Is a Coordinate System?
To measure position, you need two things:
1. An origin — a reference point where position = 0
2. A positive direction — one direction you call positive; the other is negative
This is just like a number line. The origin is zero, positive is to the right, negative is to the left.
Setting Up Your Coordinate System
In this lab, you will:
- Mark your origin on the floor with tape
- Choose and label a positive direction
- Send your buggy in the opposite direction
Your buggy travels in the negative direction.
Every position you record will be a negative number.
What Will Your Data Look Like?
| Time (s) |
Position, Trial 1 (cm) |
Position, Trial 2 (cm) |
Average (cm) |
| 1 |
-28 |
-26 |

-54 |
-55 |
-54.5 |
| 3 |
-81 |
-83 |
-82 |
| … |
… |
… |
… |
All position values are negative and getting more negative over time.
What Will Your Graph Look Like?
In Lab 1, your graph went up (distance increased over time).
In this lab, your position values get more and more negative.
Your best-fit line will slope downward.
The slope of your line will be a negative number.
Speed vs. Velocity
In Lab 1, your slope represented speed — how fast the buggy moved.
In this lab, your slope represents velocity.
| |
Speed |
Velocity |
| Tells you |
How fast |
How fast and which direction |
| Sign |
Always positive |
Positive or negative |
A negative velocity means the object is moving in the negative direction.
Your Task
- Set up a coordinate system (origin + positive direction)
- Send your buggy in the negative direction
- Collect position vs. time data (multiple trials)
- Graph position vs. time and draw a best-fit line
- Write the equation of your line
- Use your equation to predict the time to reach an assigned position
- Test your prediction
Before You Start
Things to remember:
- Every position value should be negative
- Start the buggy before the origin so it’s at full speed
- Collect data for many different time values
- Run multiple trials at each time and average
- Take your time — you need a good equation for your prediction
Go!
