PROJECTILE LAUNCHER Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
PROJECTILE LAUNCHER.
PROJECTILE LAUNCHER A projectile is a moving object undergoing the
influence of acceleration of gravity, When launched, a projectile will
cross the air describing a parabola. Speed and launching angle of
projectile will determine the reached height and horizontal distance.
Turning the screw available in the rear part of this projector will
vary the launching angle.
Starting from different positions on launching cylinder will enable to
vary the projectile speed.
This equipment can be hooked onto any table. The sphere can be thrown
upwards according to an angle ranging from 0 to 90°. This strong and
very accurate projector enables launches up to 3 meters.
Its adjustment consists in turning and tightening the proper
Screw up to the desired position.
Angle can be measured by plumb line of half degree.
