Article No: 02425-00
Apparatus for conversion of potential to kinetic energy and vice-versa (translation and rotation). Two aperatures at ends of axles keep wheel from running off its trajectory and are used, together with a light barrier, to measure translation velocity. Metal wheel with support rod and adjustable suspension. Wheel diameter: 130 mm. Mass of wheel: 470g. Moment of inertia: 10 kg cm². Cord length: 800 mm. Diameter of shutter: 20 mm.
