Meter Stick Ball Ramp Set - ME-7075
Use as a projectile launcher and as an inclined plane.
Product Summary
The Ball Ramp can be used as a projectile launcher and as an inclined plane. Two meter sticks form rails for a ball to roll on. The curved end of the Ball Ramp allows the ball to roll off the end of the ramp horizontally. There is a level in the curved end so you can tell when the end is horizontal.
The angle of the Ball Ramp can adjust by clamping one end to a rod stand. Photogate Rod Clamps hold the meter sticks in place and provide a rod clamp as well as a place to attach a photogate. The Photogate Rod Clamp is compatible with Smart Gates and Photogate Heads. A photogate can also be mounted on the curved end of the Ball Ramp to record the speed right before the ball leaves the ramp.
To study Conservation of Momentum in two dimensions, the 2-D Collision Accessory can be mounted on the end of the curved end of the Ball Ramp, allowing the ball rolling down the ramp to collide with a second ball.
