Description
- Spark timer is used for measuring velocity and acceleration of falling or moving objects.
- When the tape is pulled through the timer, a spark is created which burns tiny dots in the tape at the same, precise interval.
- The faster the tape is pulled through the timer, the larger the distance between the dots.
- This allows students to calculate the acceleration.
- Spark tape, carbon disks, weight and clamp are included.
- Includes activity guide.
