Wheel and Axle
13 cm diameter molded wheel contains 4 grooves of different diameters in the ratios 1, 3, 5 & 7. The grooves are wide and flat bottomed ensuring an exact diameter for each groove, each comes with a small hole to retain the cord. The back of the wheel is hollow to minimize the mass and inertia. Wheel is attached to a 14 cm long rod.

Projectile Apparatus
(Falling Body Apparatus) Showing that horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other. Consists of a wooden block 190 x 58 x 30 mm approx. with a pivoted L-section spring loaded metal launching bar with a trigger catch. On releasing the catch, one steel ball drops vertically while the other is projected horizontally, both hitting the floor at the same time. Supplied with 2 steel balls with storage recess in the block.

Marble Launcher
Durable apparatus to study velocity, acceleration, and projectile motion. Marbles can be launched from five different speeds at any angle between 0 and 90°.
Velocity of the marble can range from 3 m/s to 9 m/s. Easy-to-read protractor allows for precise measurements and calculations. Sturdy hardwood construction is built to last. Includes a detailed instruction guide and two marbles.
16″ L x 10″ W x 12½” H.

Second Law of Motion Apparatus
To demonstrate the Second Law of Motion simply and accurately, two identical balls-one drilled, and the other solid is used. When the release lever is triggered, the internal spring accelerates one ball and releases the other, showing that two balls dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time even though one is traveling forward when the balls are released. Support stand and clamp required, but not included. With instructions.

Energy Transformation Balls
Demonstrates conversion of kinetic energy into heat and sound energy during a collision. Consists of a pair of heavy steel balls. When the balls strike against each other with a piece of paper between the balls, the heat causes a hole to appear in the paper. The kinetic energy of the balls upon collision is converted to heat which is sufficient to burn a hole in the paper. With instructions.

Pendulum Waves
In this apparatus, you will use the laws of simple pendulum motion to create a pendulum wave apparatus: a device where many pendulums of different lengths, and therefore different periods, start swinging at the same time. As they move in and out of sync, the pendulums create a sequence of cycling visual wave patterns.

Ballistic Pendulum Apparatus
To demonstrate the laws of conservation of momentum and trajectory. Features a nylon block pendulum with tapered rubber insert, leveling and adjusting screws on both pendulum and base, and a rubber bumper to prevent damage on impact. Unit contains a scale marked in degrees for recording the height and is registered by a counter-weighted needle that remains in place at the height of the pendulum arc. With instructions.

Supertek Monkey & Hunter Demonstration
This apparatus illustrates the effect of gravity on the projectile motion. An elastic-powered gun is supported from a battery-operated small electromagnet. It fires ping-pong bullet balls at a model monkey. When the projectile is fired, the electromagnetic circuit breaks. The trajectory is easily visible. Both monkey and bullet fall at the same rate and the bullet always hits the monkey regardless of how far away the monkey is. This proves that the horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other. This unit includes a table clamp mounting plate and it may also be used as a trajectory apparatus. Requires support stand and low voltage battery, which is not provided with the apparatus.

Pendulum Demonstration
This setup clearly demonstrates simple harmonic motion and the conservation of energy. In simple harmonic motion, pendulum swings evenly from side to side. Use photogate timer to accurately measure the period of the pendulum or the speed of the pendulum bob at the bottom of the swing. The length of the string can be adjusted to measure the change in period. Also see the effect of change in mass on the period. Two pendulum bobs are provided. Photogate Timer is not included.
