Predict and verify projectile motion with repeatable launches
The Horizontal Projectile Ramp with Ball provides a reliable, repeatable way to investigate projectile motion and kinematics in the classroom. Designed to launch a steel marble horizontally from a table or desk, this aluminum ramp delivers consistent initial velocities—making it easy for students to predict and verify the marble’s landing position. With adjustable starting points and built-in support for photogate measurements, it turns projectile motion into a precise, data-driven experiment. (Photogate, timer, and table clamp not included.)
Why Teachers Love the Horizontal Projectile Ramp with Ball
- Consistent, predictable launches: Adjustable screws provide up to four starting points and velocities.
- Supports quantitative analysis: Metal end plate allows easy attachment of a photogate to measure initial velocity.
- Highly accurate results: Students are often amazed at how closely predictions match measured outcomes.
- Durable construction: Aluminum ramp built for repeated classroom use.
