C7-42: AIR TABLE - COLLISIONS OF PUCKS
Additional Info
- ID Code: C7-42
- Purpose: Qualitatively demonstrate elastic and inelastic two-dimensional collisions.
- Description: Two or more pucks can be used to demonstrate elastic collisions. Velcro collars on pucks (front row of second picture) produce perfectly inelastic collisions. The air table is only available in rooms 1410, 1412, and 0405 because it will not fit through a standard single door. In smaller rooms, please consider C7-43 or C7-44.
- Availability: Available
- References: REFERENCES: (PIRA 1N40.20, 21, and 22)
