Description
This durable inertia demonstrator works reliably every time and is a great improvement on traditional versions of this classic experiment.
- A steel ball rests on a thin metal card on top of a pillar, and a spring-loaded catch is mounted next to the pillar
- When the catch is released, a piston strikes the edge of the metal card sharply
- The card flies out from under the ball, which remains in place on top of the pillar due to its large inertial mass
- The card is tethered to the aluminum base for easy recovery after the experiment
- In a second experiment the cord is pulled slowly and steadily
- In this case, the ball and card fall off the pillar together
- Includes activity guide
- Approximate product dimensions are 5 x 3 x 2 in.
