NaRiKa® Collision Apparatus for Kinetic Energy

An alternative to a ballistic pendulum designed to demonstrate the conservation of momentum.

• Equipped with adjustable settings to control the initial velocity of the ball, facilitating experiments with varying kinetic energies

• Includes the BeeSpi V speed measurement device for accurate, real-time velocity data without the need for computer connections or additional software​
• Features a 1000 mm plastic guiding rail ensuring consistent ball trajectory and precise collision targeting
• Utilizes a wooden block to visibly demonstrate the effects of collisions, allowing measurement of displacement as an indicator of energy transfer

The collision apparatus for kinetic energy offers a hands-on tool to explore and understand the principles of kinetic energy conservation. The apparatus features a horizontal ball launcher with adjustable settings, enabling users to vary the initial velocity of the ball to observe how different speeds affect collision outcomes. The inclusion of the BeeSpi V velocimeter allows for precise, real-time velocity measurements, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of experimental data.

A 1 m plastic guiding rail ensures consistent ball trajectory, leading to reproducible results. The sliding wooden block serves as a tangible indicator of energy transfer, with its displacement providing a clear visual representation of the collision's impact. This comprehensive setup not only facilitates the demonstration of theoretical concepts but also encourages interactive learning and critical analysis of kinetic energy principles.​
