1 LINEAR AIR TRACK KIT Ideal for investigating Newton’s second law, uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion, conservation law and collisions. The kit includes the air track, 2 gliders, 2 lightgate holders and accessories. The track cross section is a 50 x 50mm aluminium extrusion 1.5 metres long. Additionally, there is a T-shaped aluminium profile down the length of the track. This facilitates the use of photocells/light gates which can slide along the graduated scale. The track has 3 feet of which 2 are adjustable to facilitate levelling. There are 106 air holes each 1mm in diameter, spaced 26mm apart. The gliders are made of black painted aluminium. The gliders have holes to mount appropriate accessories. Each glider is 110mm long and has a mass of 106g. The accessories are: 2 round flags for the gliders, one 10mm diameter, the other 15mm. 2 x velcro tubes for inelastic collisions. 2 spring bumpers and 1 rubber band bumper for elastic collisions. Slotted masses : 4 x 20g. 3 x 5g, 3 x 2g, 1 x 1g and 1 x 3g mass holder. Cat No. Description Price Per 2 LINEAR AIR TRACK BLOWER Quiet operation with a variable speed adjuster.Designed for use with FMD-180-100. Cat No. Description Price Per FMD-190-100 Air Track Blower 315.00 ea. 3 LASCELLS NIII PLATFORMS These trolleys are large enough for students to sit on to experience the effect of Newton’s Third Law. The strong wooden platforms measure 600 × 340 × 18mm each and are constructed from plywood with Rubber tyre wheels at each corner. The surfaces are covered in matting to provide a non- slip surface. In use, the platforms are placed in line on the floor and two students sit on them, facing each other. One student is instructed to push the other away but the end result is that both students move equal amounts. The platforms also have many other uses e.g. in large scale load dynamics investigations when heavy weights are involved. Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-475-100 NIII Platforms [pair] 109.89 ea. 4 NEWTON’S CRADLE A fun piece of apparatus for demonstrating Newton’s 3rd law of motion which says that action and reaction are equal and opposite. The device is suitable for demonstration of momentum conservation. Cat No. Description Price Per FMD-220-100 Newton’s Cradle 15.00 ea. FMD-180-100 Linear Air Track Kit 505.86 ea.
