M09: Hover Puck

 

Purpose: To show low friction motion.

Description:

 

The Hover Puck glides on a self-generated cushion of air across any smooth surface. The rubber bumper provides protection for the puck and other objects during collisions.

Inertia Activities -- The Hover Puck removes friction from its motion, which helps students better understand Newton's First Law

Newton's Second Law -- Students can apply various forces to the puck and record its acceleration with a Motion Sensor.
