The magnet gun is a simple but spectacular experiment in which a slowly rolling ball sets in motion a sequence involving several magnets and balls, and ends up shooting out a ball at high speed.
The experiment exploits the ball’s magnetic attraction.
It is a useful jumping-off point for discussing energy, motion, momentum and magnetism.
The gun is 100 cm long and is supplied with 10 balls. Guidelines included (Norwegian).
Allows a rotary motion sensor to mount on a Dynamics Track and act as a high resolution bi-directional Smart Pulley.
A 200 turn wire coil on a bobbin that has a base with three terminals that accommodate banana plug contacts for measuring current or voltage. Can be mounted on a Helmholtz base.
Allows students to measure angular velocity, acceleration, centripetal forces, and other full range of motion experiments.
The Stress Strain Apparatus lets students observe stress and strain as they stretch a material to the point of fracture.
An extra 3-step Pulley for PASCO’s Rotary Motion Sensors.
Allows the students observation of velocity of drop rising in an electric field, then permits calculation of the force on the charge carried by the oil drop.
Combines features that significantly improve the ease of setup, the durability of the Torsion Band and the quality of results. In the newer models the spheres are tungsten rather than lead.
Allows students to mount Rotary Motion Sensors to the Rotating Platform or Gyroscope.
Set of four 4 oz bottles of mineral oil, for use with the Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus.
This system is ideal for hands-on experimentation with basic circuits and includes more components than the Basic Set, as well as sensors. It is a component of the Essential Physics program.
