Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12347
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies (SKU SCL-PLE-12347) shows that the free fall of bodies does not depend on their mass or shape. As a free fall apparatus with steel or plastic spheres of 20-30 mm diameter, it holds the spheres on a steel frame mounted on a 17 x 6 cm wooden block, so students can watch them fall and compare their landing. JaincoLab supplies it for school mechanics lessons.
Specifications
The apparatus uses steel or plastic spheres of 20-30 mm diameter hung on a mounted steel frame, with the mechanism fixed on a wooden block measuring 17 x 6 cm.

Uses of the free fall apparatus with steel and plastic spheres
The apparatus is used when free fall is introduced, so that students can see spheres of different mass fall from the same height and reach the ground together, apart from the small effect of air.
- Showing that bodies of different mass fall with the same acceleration
- Comparing the fall of steel and plastic spheres of similar size
- Introducing acceleration due to gravity before quantitative g experiments
- Short demonstrations in secondary-school physics
