Colliding Pendulum
This new equipment module allows your students to explore the law of momentum conservation using accurate photogate measurements. The colliding steel bobs conserve energy and momentum to better than 97%. Your students will find that bobs of equal mass transfer momentum as they collide. By colliding bobs of unequal mass, students learn how momentum conservation allows them to predict the mass of an unknown object. This equipment module recreates some of the key features in Rutherford's discovery of the atomic nucleus!
The Colliding Pendulum fits on the CPO Science Physics Stand. Four steel bobs are included. Two of the bobs are the same mass, and two have different masses. The CPO Timer (or new Data Collector) and photogates are required.
- Momentum conservation in one dimension
- 50 cm swing radius
- Includes four bobs, two of which have the same mass
- Durable construction
