Projectile Launcher
$299 order code vpl
a. projectile launcher, order code vpl, $299
Use the Vernier Projectile Launcher to investigate important concepts in
two-dimensional kinematics. Launch steel balls at angles between 0 and
70 degrees and up to a distance of 2.5 m. A unique pneumatic launching
system provides excellent repeatability and allows you to adjust the
launch speed. Built-in photogates and angle markings provide easy and
accurate measurement of the ball’s launch velocity, allowing for precise
quantitative analysis of projectile motion.
includes: launcher, six steel balls, hand pump, two pairs of goggles,
level, roll of waxed marking paper, photogate cable
product specifications
Launch angle: 0 to 70 degrees
Launch speed: 0-6 m/s
Launch height: 146 mm
Internal photogate interval: 50 mm
Steel ball mass: 21.8 g
Steel ball diameter: 17.5 mm
b. NEW projectile stop, order code ps-vpl, $40
The Projectile Stop has one job: to keep the projectiles from the Vernier
Projectile Launcher from rolling out of sight. Place the Projectile Stop in
the launch line, beyond the landing site, and the projectile will be caught.
c. NEW Time of Flight pad, order code TOF-vpl, $77
The Time of Flight Pad is used to precisely measure how long a projectile
has been in motion. Use it with the Vernier Projectile Launcher and a
Vernier interface to determine the launch speed of a projectile, along
with the time the projectile is in flight.
d. NEW independence of Motion Accessory
order code iOM-vpl, $49
The Independence of Motion Accessory enables the Vernier Projectile
Launcher to perform the classic experiment where one ball is dropped as
another is projected horizontally. The balls strike the floor simultaneously.
