Centre of Mass Baton
Product Code : JA-FMDE-9438
The Centre of Mass Baton (SKU JA-FMDE-9438) is a demonstration baton with a bright LED mounted at its centre of mass. When the baton is tossed it twirls in an irregular way, yet the light at the centre of mass follows a smooth parabolic path, which makes the motion of the centre of mass easy to see. This centre of mass baton with LED is made by JaincoLab for mechanics lessons in schools and colleges.
Specifications
The product data describes the baton by its one key feature: an ultra-bright LED fixed at the centre of mass, which traces a smooth parabola while the rest of the baton spins. Length, mass and the LED power source are not stated and are confirmed on the quotation.

Uses of the centre of mass baton with LED
The baton is used when the centre of mass is introduced, to show that a spinning, tumbling object still has one point that moves exactly like a simple projectile.
- Showing that the centre of mass of a thrown object follows a parabolic path
- Separating rotational motion from the translational motion of the centre of mass
- Linking projectile motion to the motion of extended bodies
- Demonstrations in a darkened room, where the LED path is easy to follow
