Unit: Each
Description: Ballistic Pendulum An Industry Standard
Using our classic, time-tested physics apparatus, your students can:
Demonstrate the conservation of momentum
Find the initial velocity of the ball
Verify the determination of the initial velocity
Find the time of flight of the ball
Compute kinetic energy
Investigate projectile motion
Features:
Durable heavy gauge metal construction doesnt wobble during experiments, hardened steel cone-pivot bearing suspension virtually lasts forever.
Easy to Use and Understand our exclusive spring pawl freezes the arm at its highest point for simple measurements.
Reliable no positioning or targeting adjustments needed: just load and fire! Our dual O-ring catching system wont drop the ball.
The pendulum swings freely on a hardened low-friction bearing to ensure proper alignment. When the ball hits the bob and swings it up, a unique ratchet system holds the bob at its highest point of swing. The pawl at the base of the bob catches the ratchet, which has a scale for accurately measuring height changes, providing a graphic demonstration of the conservation of momentum.
Remove the pendulum arm and you can perform a variety of trajectory experiments.
Includes a drilled brass projectile ball and operating instructions.
