track marked with equal time intervals

  Equal Time Intervals

track with equal distance intervals

Equal Distance Intervals

 

Code Number: 1C20.37

Demo Title: Inclined Tracks - Timed Intervals

Condition:  Excellent

Principle: Uniform Acceleration

Area of Study: Mechanics

Equipment: 

Two Tracks with marked intervals, 1-inch ball bearings, No-Bounce Pads.

Procedure:

Incline the tracks to the desired angle.  Place a ball at the start point and release.  The track with equal intervals will make sounds with increasing frequency.  The track with the progressively larger intervals will make sounds at regular intervals.  The intervals are proportional to the squares of the numbers, such as 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.
