| Go with the flow! Visualize horizontal acceleration - at a special low price. |
| What happens to the oceans under the full moon? What flings you outward when your car cuts a corner too sharply? |
| It's easy to visualize the effects of inertial movement with this low cost device. Horizontal acceleration creates characteristic wave patterns to demonstrate inertial movement. Now, because liquid moves in the direction opposite to acceleration, you can actually see these waves by watching the pattern created by the colored liquid. You can even measure the patterns with the imprinted horizontal and vertical grid. |
•Demonstrate gravitational and uniform acceleration
•Illustrate acceleration down an inclined plane
•Use with Dynamics Cars, Rotating Platform, turntable, or amusement park physics |
| Liquid accelerometer includes: |
•Hook and loop connector to attach to a dynamics car or rotating platform |
| •Grid lines to quantify both vertical and horizontal movement |
| •Instructions |
| •You provide water and food coloring |
