PASCO’s Ballistic Cart Accessory helps beginning physics students grasp the independence of vertical and horizontal motion. This cart launches a sphere vertically and is perfect for helping beginning physics students grasp the independence of vertical and horizontal motion.
Features
- PASCO’s optical release does not affect cart motion or ball flight path.
- The barrel has X and Y adjustments, so perfect vertical projections can be produced every time.
- Fires a colored nylon ball 0.5 meters or higher - impressive for demonstration purposes.

- Shoot and Catch
- Tunnel
- Accelerating Cart
- Inclined Plane
How It Works
Mounted on a dynamics cart or motorized cart moving at constant velocity, the Ballistic Cart Accessory launches a ball vertically, continues down the track, and then catches the ball as it falls—every time. Offers an exciting introductory demonstration to projectile motion.
