Free Fall and Pendulum Apparatus
(0760) |
Specifications : Vertical column height: 170 cm – Scaled surface length: 150 cm. The apparatus is designed specifically for the study of free fall due to gravity and the study of the Law of the Pendulum. It consists of a vertical column with a graduated scale and an electromagnet, mounted on a triangular base with levelling screws and a basket for the falling spheres. The acceleration of free falling bodies, defined as “g”, is studied by measuring the time necessary for a falling body to move a fixed distance on the graduated scale. The apparatus can be used with Electronic Timer. To use a large LED display for classroom use, the Large Display is an ideal choice. COMPONENTS : • Base for Free Fall and Pendulum Apparatus • Profile for Free Fall and Pendulum Apparatus • Electronic Digital Timer • Photogate (2x) • Electronic Oscillation Counter • Power Supply 12 V DC 220 V AC • RCA Cable length • Stereo Jack In/Jack Out Cable • Polyester inelastic String • Set of Three Spheres with Hook (PVC, Brass, Wood) • Stainless Steel Sphere diam. 19 mm • Stainless Steel Sphere diam. 25 mm • Free fall electromagnet cap for track • Magnetic Support for Pendulum Cord • Plasticine? • Support for Magnet (Short). LAWS & PRINCIPLES INVESTIGATED : • Investigating motion of different objects with free fall • Experiment to demonstrate the Law of the Pendulum • Acceleration of a free fall objects of different masses
• Determination of “g” and acceleration by means of the free fall • Determination of “g” by means of the pendulum • Drag or frictional force on a pendulum • Study the oscillations or periods of a pendulum • Determination of the drag force acting on a body in motion. |
