Centripetal Force Apparatus

Item Code : SK214

Triangular section track made of aluminum with perforations. An inlet cover is given at one of the ends, which is connected to hose of an air blower. The gliders move on an air cushion thus minimizing friction.
Apparatus is used for performing experiments to investigate laws of motion, speed, acceleration, and momentum. Wireless light gates with built-in-timer provide accurate measurement of various kinematic parameters. Data may be collected for easy analysis on the free software and apps.
