Here's why:
* Ticker tape diagrams: These diagrams show the motion of an object by recording the position of the object at equal time intervals.
* Dots: Each dot represents the object's position at a specific moment in time.
* Distance between dots: The distance between the dots represents the distance the object traveled in the time between those marks.
Faster velocity means more distance traveled in the same amount of time. This results in larger gaps between the dots on the ticker tape diagram.
