Chapter 1.1, Problem 2cT
C. Based on your observations of your tape segment and the tape segments of other members of your class, answer the following questions
Is each small tape segment a part of a motion with constant or varying speed?
Did your examination of a single, small tape segment reveal whether the entire motion that generated the tape had constant or varying speed?

Part B
Choose the best explanation from among the following:
O Gravity is weaker at the top of the mountain, leading to a greater period of oscillation.
O The length of the pendulum is unchanged, and therefore its period remains the same.
The extra gravity from the mountain causes the period to decrease.

- When you drive your car over a bump, the springs connecting the wheels to the car compress. Your shock absorbers then damp the subsequent oscillation, keeping your car from bouncing up and down on the springs. (Figure 1) shows real data for a car driven over a bump.
