Function and Applications
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
