Visual Scientifics Ballistic Pendulum

Students investigate the properties of momentum and conservation of energy using this precision apparatus.

• Spring-loaded launcher, rigid-arm pendulum with barrel, and measuring board
• Lab manual included
• Covers NGSS and common core standards
• Platform neutral - works with your preferred probeware/video analysis tools

The ballistic pendulum remains a staple in today's physics classrooms. This model is straightforward and easy to use. The inlcuded lab manual provides approximately three hours of laboratory activities, and meets several Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core concepts.

The pendulum is useful for demonstrating properties of momentum and energy.
