About This Product
An air track lets students study motion with almost no friction. Air passes out of small holes in the sloping sides of the tube, so the gliders float and slide back and forth, and the spring bumpers let them rebound after collisions with almost zero lost energy. Weights and attachments can be fitted for various experiments, and the motion of the gliders is measured and studied to understand the fundamental principles of motion, mass and direction. This kind of apparatus is used in school physics for collisions and momentum.
Frequently Asked Questions
