Ballistic Cart

  • Principle Illustrated: Decomposition of Forces


    Pictured here is our old spring-loaded unit.

    Our new unit uses a photogate trigger and spring release system for smooth, easy operation.

    While the unit is in motion, a ball is shot straight up into the air. After some distance of travel, the ball falls back into the cart.
