Dynamics & Collisions

Apparatus for demonstration of Newton's 3rd law of motion which says that action and reaction are equal and opposite. The device is suitable for demonstration of momentum conservation. Dimensions: 124 x 110 x 153 mm. Ball diameter 20 mm.

This battery powered air puck can be used for 'frictionless' demonstrations, in similar way to the carbon dioxide (dry ice) pucks which used to be available. It is also fun way to play 'air hockey' on any flat surface. Two discs can be used together for demonstrating collision between objects. With its powerful hover action, the air powered soccer disc literally floats on cushion of air. The disk has soft outer rim to prevent damage as well as improving rebounding from any object it collides with. Can be used indoors or out. Requires x AA batteries (not included). Dimensions: 180 x 180 x 60 mm.

This flexible plastic ramp can be used to create slopes and curved tracks for use in dynamics experiments. Designed for use with small vehicles, the ramp comes with side rails to contain the vehicles. Tracks can be connected together by unscrewing an endplate and joining to another track. Dimensions: Track runway length 1.2 metres; Usable width of track 95 mm.

Operates at 6 V AC and produces dots on the tape using carbon paper disc at an electronically controlled frequency of 50 Hz. The unit is housed in rugged ABS case. Supplied with 40 mm carbon paper discs and 15 mm wide ticker tape.

Ticker Tape, 30 m x 15 mm for Ticker Tape Timer FO81625.

This timer is very robust and features an adjustable spring loading mechanism to ensure suitable ticker tape markings. Operates at 12 V AC. providing 50 Hz. Uses 50 mm dia. carbon discs and 9.5 mm wide tape.

Ticker Tape, 30 m x 9.5 mm for Ticker Tape Timer FO81650

Carbon Paper Discs, 50 mm diameter, for Ticker Tape Timer FO81650.

Designed to provide a smooth, flat, easily inclinable surface for dynamics experiments using trolleys. Complete with wooden side rails and plastic feet.

Designed to provide a smooth, flat, easily inclinable surface for dynamics experiments using trolleys. Complete with wooden side rails and plastic feet.

A pair of identical wooden trolleys mounted on low-friction wheels with spring plungers. The trolleys may be stacked on top of each other by the use of pins (supplied). Dimensions (L): 300 mm. (Wgt) 526 g

These unique precision Dynamics Carts are ideal for all basic dynamics experiments. Strong and rigid, they can take the weight of an adult without bending or breaking. They can be loaded with house bricks or similar weights for velocity, acceleration and collision experiments. Each cart is complete with firing button and 2 position spring loaded firing shaft with safety locking device to prevent accidental firing. These carts run straight and true and the wheels are of low mass and low friction. Each is accurately calibrated to be 600 g and are stackable. The approximate dimensions of the body are (LxWxH) 300 x 130 x 90 mm. Supplied as pair.
