Marble Launcher
#PROLCH
Introduction
This spring loaded marble launcher provides a fun, yet quantitative
introduction to two-dimensional motion. With a maximum range of 8
meters, the launcher features five different launch speeds,
repeatability to within a few percent, and a built-in-protractor for
setting the launch angle. The photogate easily attaches to the
launcher so the student can make precise measurements of the initial
velocity of the marble.
What's Included:
•
Main assembly with
the launch barrel
•
Base (foot)
•
Plastic Marbles (x2)
•
Hex nuts, t-style (2)

Hex wrench
Not Included, but Helpful:

How to Use
• Setting up the launcher
o The marble launcher itself has two parts: the base and
the main assembly. These two parts attach together with
hex nuts. The hex nuts fit onto attachment screws that
are embedded into the bottom of the main assembly.
Line up the two holes in the base with the attachment
screws on the main assembly.
