Question 49
Easy

A student wants to determine the average speed of a toy car as it rolls down a sloped wooden ramp between two marked lines.

Figure 1 shows the experimental setup.

A toy car is positioned at the top of a sloped wooden ramp. Two parallel lines are marked across the width of the ramp. A metre rule is placed alongside the ramp next to the markings. No timing devices are shown in the diagram.

One essential piece of apparatus is missing from this setup.

State the extra piece of apparatus the student needs to determine the average speed of the toy car between the two marked lines.
