Force Mechanism Trough

With the Force Mechanism Trough, students can research acceleration and the effect of gravity on a moving body by propelling steel balls or a wood block down an aluminum trough track.

• Low-Cost Apparatus for Studying Acceleration and Gravity
• Instructions Included
• Molded Plastic Supports Included
• Trigger Mechanism Included
• Five Steel Balls Included

One experiment demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy in collisions.

The other shows the difference between sliding and rolling friction.

 : This kit includes a 43" long, all-aluminum, v-shaped track; injection molded plastic supports; trigger mechanism with four settings; five 3/4" dia. steel balls; irregular shaped wood block; and instructions.
