Energy & Projectiles Track for Time, Speed & Acceleration Unit [80968]

The Energy & Projectiles Track is a versatile accessory designed for use with the Time, Speed & Acceleration (TSA) Unit. This robust apparatus enables students to explore key principles of physics, including energy transformations and projectile motion, through engaging, hands-on experimentation.

The track allows learners to investigate the relationships between potential, kinetic, and rotational energy using a rolling ball bearing. Its dual-track design, mounted on a sturdy frame, includes a clearly marked height scale (up to 34cm), enabling accurate measurement and analysis of energy changes as objects move along the track.

When used alongside compatible accessories such as the TSA Unit and Timing Plate, the system can also be used to study projectile motion, allowing students to measure launch speed, time of flight, and trajectory. This makes it an ideal tool for exploring both fundamental and advanced concepts in mechanics.
