This very famous experiment combines a students understanding of position, velocity, momentum, acceleration, conservation of energy and momentum, potential and kinetic energy into one comprehensive experiment to experimentally determine the muzzle velocity of the ballistics launcher. Once the experiment is conducted and can be verified with photogates and then theoretically derived. Kit comes with everything seen in the image (ballistic launcher, rigid arm pendulum, angle back drop, steel ball, release mechanism).
