How to find the corrected time tc: To find the necessary correction terms for position and time, first extrapolate your line on the velocity vs. time graph all the way down to the t axis. The time interval between the t-intercept and the origin will be the time elapsed from when you released the glider from rest to the time when your instructor chose a dot as “zero time”. This corrected time, tc, must be added to each time interval in column [2] to find the corrected time. Record this now in your data table in column [6]! (Note: tc is a positive number.)

How do I find the Tc by looking at the graph? Thanks

Explanation / Answer

The point where the graph cuts the x-axis gives the value for Tc .

Value is -0.14s
