Eisco GP00014 Garage Physics Projectile Motion Slingshot Kit - Explore projectile motion writ-large with a rubber-band slingshot, manufactured with high quality and precision-cut birch veneer pure bond plywood. By recording the time-of-flight of the ping pong ball, students can deduce the initial velocity for various rubber band settings. This can be used to experimentally determine the spring constant of the common rubber band in a dynamic setting. By tipping the slingshot and breaking the initial velocity into its horizontal and vertical components, range can be predicted and measured. Range with 2 rubber bands is more than 30 ft. |
