CENCO Ballistic Pendulum — An Industry Standard
|
Using our classic, time-tested physics apparatus, your students can:
• Demonstrate the conservation of momentum
• Find the initial velocity of the ball
• Verify the determination of the initial velocity
• Find the time of flight of the ball
• Compute kinetic energy
• Investigate projectile motion
Features:
• Durable — heavy gauge metal construction doesn’t wobble during experiments, hardened steel cone-pivot bearing suspension virtually lasts forever.
• Easy to Use and Understand — our exclusive spring pawl freezes the arm at its highest point for simple measurements.
• Reliable — no positioning or targeting adjustments needed: just load and fire! Our dual O-ring catching system won’t drop the ball.
The pendulum swings freely on a hardened low-friction bearing to ensure proper alignment. When the ball hits the bob and swings it up, a unique ratchet system holds the bob at its highest point of swing. The pawl at the base of the bob catches the ratchet, which has a scale for accurately measuring height changes, providing a graphic demonstration of the conservation of momentum. Remove the pendulum arm and you can perform a variety of trajectory experiments. Includes a drilled brass projectile ball and operating instructions. You can update your existing apparatus with our new Pendulum Arm.
