A visual measurement of impact created by collision against a stationary object. The car is fitted with a spring scale and slide that is displaced on impact. The slide remains in its displaced position until reset. The student can takes direct readings from the scale to measure the force. The top…

Help students to visualize and grasp Newton’s Second Law of Motion! This sturdy unit demonstrates that a horizontally projected ball and vertically dropped ball land at the same time. The spring device can propel a ball up to 48 inches from its starting point. It comes with a detachable rod for…

The Projectile Launcher is a teaching tool used for experiments with trajectories. The launcher features a spring-loaded trigger and an easy-to-use release mechanism that can be adjusted for tension. A protractor and plumb bob are fixed to the face of the apparatus for determining the angle of…

A Gyroscope is a fascinating mechanical device that at time seems to defy the laws of gravity. The unique characteristic of a gyroscope is that once it is set spinning, it tends to want to remain in its original plane regardless of rotation of its housing. The tendency to resist change in direction…

Demonstrate the relationship between length of the lever arm, moment of force, and amount of force. The unit is designed to help students to understand the principles of torque and its properties. The Kit includes: a 50cm meter stick, a cast iron support stand, 3-knife edge clamps, 1-50 gram hooked…

For performing experiments in conservation, velocity, elastic collision, acceleration and momentum. The set contains two high impact plastic cars with snap in wheels and two spring steel bumpers with rubber stopper assemblies. Each car has a recession for holding additional weight. The approximate…

This simple but precise launcher projects 16 mm steel balls at ranges suitable for use on the bench top or from the bench to the floor. A protractor and plumb line make it easy to set any required launch angle from 45° downwards to straight up. Three different spring tensions give three…

This molded plastic bicycle wheel gyroscope is durably constructed and more resistant to distortion than a spoked wheel. Convincing demonstrations of the gyroscopic forces can be made using a rotating platform and the grooved hub and starting cord make accelerating the gyroscope to a sufficient…

The Ballistics Car demonstrates that the horizontal motion of an object is unaffected by forces which act solely in the vertical direction. The car's low-friction wheel bearings allow it to coast at an essentially constant speed. If the spring in the gun is triggered while the car is coasting, the…

The design of the SpillNot™ uses the principles of Newtonian physics to keep the liquid in the container. The flexible handle and the location of the suspension point above the center of the tray ensure that the forces on the liquid are always directed towards the supporting tray, even when…

This Ballistics Car demonstrates the independence of vertical and horizontal motions. It consists of a four-wheeled cart carrying a vertical tube with a spring-loaded piston inside. The tube is loaded with a ball and the cart is set in motion. During the motion, the piston is released remotely by a…

The Loop-the-Loop Apparatus consists of a 1200mm long graduated aluminum track with a loop of 150mm in diameter and two adjustable plastic supports. A catch basket is attached to the lower part of the track to capture the ball after use. Use this apparatus to investigate potential and kinetic…

Explore basic mechanics concepts with this all-metal, freestanding apparatus, designed for both durability and ease of use. The plane is wide enough to accommodate standard friction blocks or a Hall’s carriage with a smartphone attached, and its walled construction prevents objects from falling off…
