MS-129 PVG COLLISION IN 2D APPARATUS

MS-129 COLLISION IN 2 D

This apparatus allows students to investigate conservation of momentum and kinetic energy change in collisions. It can also be used to compare elastic and inelastic collisions. A flat base supports a curved aluminum track and an adjustable target support.

A simple and economical apparatus for studying conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy in collisions. Can also be used to compare elastic collisions with inelastic collisions. Comprises a curved metal track mounted vertically on a horizontal wooden board with an adjustable target support.
A plumb bob attached to the target support provides height of point of collision from the ground and the position on the ground that corresponds to the point of collision.
Supplied with two steel balls, a glass ball for near elastic collision and a lightweight hollow wooden ball for inelastic collisions.
Bench clamp not included
