M-EngMom12: Air Track
PIRA: Unknown
Equipment: Air track in Room 75, air table at the end of Set 6, Cabinet 3 and a blower for the air table on bench in Room 75.
Procedure: Many experiments in this field where energy and momentum are the outstanding features make satisfactory demonstrations only if friction can be reduced to a very low value. For one-dimensional situations there is the air track which is portrayed in M-D5. The manual for the equipment gives many interesting suggestions for demonstrations.
For two-dimensional situations there is the air table which is portrayed in M-D11. The manual for the equipment gives many interesting suggestions for demonstrations.
