USING PHOTOGATES TO TIME CARS 9/16/11
Top half of page: Draw/color a labeled picture of how to set it up.
Label: ramp, car, photogate A,B, draw red and blue wires.
Answer in a paragraph- bottom half of page.
How should the photogates be set up for timing cars:
1. Should the timer be on stopwatch or interval?
2. Should light A, B or both be on?
3. Which photogate should be nearest to the top of the ramp, A or B?
Describe what happens to the timer when a car rolls
down ramp THROUGH 1st PHOTOGATE (PG),
between the 2 PG’s and
THROUGH THE 2nd PG.

Definition: Experimental variable: The variable that the scientist changes to see if it changes the results.
b. Which is the experimental variable?
c. All other variables should be….
How should the other variables be set at the beginning of the experiment? Why?
Underline the word “because” in your answer.
Conclusion: Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not: Discuss the way variables were changed in the experiment
Steepness & Car Times 9/19/11
pg. 15:
