Question

Why do you get a more accurate measurement of the time that it takes a ball to fall using timing gates rather than a stopwatch?

Answer 1

Accurate measurement of the time depends upon one factor that is the reaction time.

• As according to the given example the ball is going to fall if we fall the ball and measure the time by using the stopwatch.
• The data recorded from stopwatch gives the information that there is delay in the time that is denoted by the reaction time.
• The reaction time can become accurate using the timing gates.
• In timing gates, the ball is going to fall, it will be going to pass through the light beam.
• When it first break from the top the time is noted and when it reaches down then  the beam will break and gives the time in three significant digits.
• That is how timing gates are helpful in giving accurate measurements.

Answer 2

Following are the steps are given below:-

Explanation:

• The information gathered from timer release detailed knowledge that perhaps the time defined by the response time is delayed.
• Using the Timing Gates, the response time could become accurate.
• The ball will fall in timing gates, it'll pass through the beam of light.
• When this first splits the top, the period is found and when it reaches down, the light breaks and offers the period in three significant digits.
• And that's how scheduling gates help to give accurate measurements.
