Our Ballistics Car is an excellent tool for demonstrating the principle that horizontal motion remains unaffected by vertical forces. Equipped with low-friction wheel bearings, this car maintains a nearly constant speed while coasting. When the spring-loaded gun is triggered during motion, the ball rises and falls back into the barrel, illustrating key concepts of projectile motion and independent horizontal and vertical movements. 

 

Features:

 

  • Independent Motion Demonstration: Clearly shows that horizontal motion is unaffected by vertical forces.
  • Low-Friction Bearings: Ensures the car coasts at a constant speed with minimal resistance.
  • Spring-Loaded Gun: Allows for precise and repeatable demonstrations.
  • Educational Tool: Perfect for physics classrooms to enhance the understanding of mot
