Product Description
Take four high bounce balls, thread them on a plastic spindle and drop them straight downward onto a hard surface . . . Watch out!
The top ball blasts off the spindle to heights up to 10 times the original drop!!
The AstroBlasterTM makes an amazing physics classroom demonstration and places the Law of Conservation of Momentum in the lime light. Also known as The Multiple Collision Accelerator it can be very handy to visualise discussions on impulse and momentum conservation during car crashes. It also illustrates the amazing forces and kinetic energies at work during the creation of a supernova (Information included).
How is the AstroBlaster related to Newton's Cradle?
