Apparatus:
2 air powered pucks, 1 air puck launcher, 1 pair hook and loop bands, air puck and air puck physics kit instruction sheets
Description:
Launcher: Use the front or back pegs and one or two bands to achieve different launch speeds. Hold down the launcher with one hand while pulling the puck back completely with the other.
For Inelastic Collisions: Stretch the two bands around each of the two pucks. When the pucks collide, they will stick together instead of bouncing apart.
Can be used for experiments such as:
- Friction vs. Frictionless
- Law of Inertia
- Centripetal Motion
- Collisions and Conservation of Momentum and Energy
- Motion on an Inclined Plane
