The g by Free Fall unit is a practical tool for measuring acceleration due to gravity, ideal for hands-on learning in the classroom. It allows students to explore core physics principles related to motion and gravity with precise timing and minimal setup.
Key Features:
Accurate Timing: Measures acceleration due to gravity using a ball bearing and millisecond timer.
Easy Setup: Integrated vibration sensor stops the timer when the ball bearing hits the impact plate.
Versatile: Includes two ball bearings (12 mm and 8 mm) for comparing different masses.
No Extra Power Needed: Works with de-bounced timers; requires 9V DC only if using a model with "bouncy" inputs.
Durable: Over-moulded rubber landing plate for long-lasting use.
Educational Benefits:
Illustrates Gravity: Demonstrates constant acceleration due to gravity for all objects, regardless of mass.
Hands-On Experimentation: Perfect for experiments in physics, motion, and forces.
Supplied With:
Base with vibration sensor
Release unit
12 mm and 8 mm ball bearings

Additional Information:
Power Requirements: No power for de-bounced timers, 9V DC for additional delay.
Compact Design: Easy to store and use in classroom settings.
