C2-27 FUNNEL CART ON INCLINE
- ID Code: C2-27
- Purpose: Demonstrate the independence of horizontal and vertical components of motion
- Description: A ball is placed in the funnel and the funnel cocked by compressing a spring. The track is raised at one end so that when it is released the cart accelerates down the track. At a certain point a bump below the track trips a lever, releasing the spring and ejecting the ball perpendicular to the track
