About This Item
Description
Inertia is the tendency of an object to either remain in motion or remain at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. This educational apparatus demonstrates this physics concept, with a glass ball balanced on a platform sitting on a support rod. As a metal arm is pulled back and released, it abruptly pushes the platform out of the way, while the ball falls straight down onto the support post, which has a small indent to hold the marble. The platform is connected to the support rod with a string so that it is easy to recover and reset after being launched. The connecting screw also prevents the metal arm from hitting the ball, so it experiences no outside force. Use the apparatus on a level surface for best results. Includes 2 marbles and an activity guide.Features
