Air Table Experiment
By measuring the distance of dots produced
by spark timer, motion and collision
experiments can be performed accurately in
a 2D environment with extremely low friction.
With Air Table the following experiments can be done:
-
Motion with constant velocity in two dimension
-
Motion with constant acceleration in two demiension
-
Motion on an inclined plane Collisions; conservation of linear momentum
-
Projectile motion
-
Rotational motion
-
Calculation of gravitational acceleration
-
Atwood Machine - Application of Newton’s 2nd law
-
Simple harmonic motion demonstration
