SUMMARY
The relationship between ticker-tape timer tapes and average velocity is established through the interpretation of tape length and width. Statement (1) is correct as the length of each tape represents the average velocity within the time interval, while statement (2) is also correct, indicating that the width of the tape represents a constant time interval. The correct answer to the homework question is C, which includes statements (1) and (2) only. The average velocity can be calculated as the length of the tape divided by the constant time interval.
