Ballistic Unit

For demonstrating projectile motion and for quantitative investigation of the laws of projection, in particular for determining the range of a projectile as a function of the projectile angle and the initial velocity of the projectile.

Benefits

The catapult included in the extent of delivery can be used to:

• Achieve reproducible projectile ranges up to 3 m (scatter of the projectile ranges approx. 1%)
• Set a continuously variable projection angle between 0° and 90°- to select three projection speeds
• Use two balls with different masses but with the same diameter

Equipment and Technical Data

• With catapult and fixed storage for two balls d = 20 mm (wooden ball with iron core and steel ball 02502.01),
• Dimensions 600 mm × 380 mm
