This apparatus is designed to help students measure gravitational acceleration ('g') through the free fall method. It features an electromagnet housed in a durable plastic case, a heavy steel sphere, and a platform unit, making it ideal for physics and science education.
The electromagnet securely holds the steel sphere, and when deactivated, the sphere falls, triggering a timer connected to the unit. The timer stops when the sphere hits the platform, allowing students to calculate the time of fall and determine 'g'.
Key Features:
Electromagnet Release: Safely holds and releases the steel sphere for accurate measurements.
Timer Integration: Connects to an external timer to measure fall time.
Micro Switch Platform: Stops the timer when the sphere hits the platform.
Durable Design: Long-lasting plastic housing and reliable steel sphere.
Easy Connections: 4 mm sockets for easy integration with external timers.
Curriculum Application:
Physics: Demonstrates key concepts of motion, gravity, and acceleration.
Hands-On Learning: Enables students to conduct experiments and gather data.
Ideal for Education: Suitable for high school and college-level physics students.
