HFC33 Conservation Of Linear Momentum Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Mechanical Training Equipment
Description The HFC33 apparatus consists of a 1.45metre long precision air trackmanufactured from sturdy lightweight extrusion. A blower forces airdown through the extrusion and out through miniature holes runningalong its length. This creates a ‘cushion’ of air onto which two trolleyscan me moved. The air ‘cushion’ creates a near frictionlessenvironment for the trolleys to run on which is crucial in preservingmomentum in the Conservation of Momentum theory. The trolleys canbe set onto each other in different modes, i.e. one stationary whilst oneis moving, both moving towards each other. This allows the momentumbefore and after to be monitored to see if the conservation of linearmomentum has remained. The trolleys can accept additional massesonto them to vary the experimental parameters. The trolleys areprojected along the air track by means of a catapult device with buffersinstalled to stop the trolleys if necessary. Light gates on the trackmonitor the timing of each trolley and a linear scale allows the distanceto be recorded and the timing gate positions to be accurately set. Thisway the velocity of each trolley can be recorded before and aftercollisions. The light gates trigger a timer which records the timing duringthe experiment Features Precision Air Track Classic Experiment into momentum Accurate recording and display of time Many parameters adjustable by customer Adjustable feet to increase tilt of air track Very visual experiment Technical Specification 2 x Trolley: 120mm long 2 x Timing gates Event timer range: 1mS to 999,999s Event timer: Continuous or start/stop mode Track linear scale: 1mm resolution Air blower: Flow controlled Weights & Dimensions Weight: 23 kg Length: 1450mm Width: 300mm Height: 250mm
