Ballistics Car with Remote Trigger – Physics Demonstration Kit for Motion & Trajectory Experiments

Explore the principles of physics with the Ballistics Car with Remote Trigger, a hands-on demonstration kit designed to illustrate the independence of vertical and horizontal motion. Perfect for classrooms, science labs, and STEM education, this four-wheeled cart carries a vertical launch tube with a spring-loaded piston.

Load the tube with a steel ball, set the cart in motion, and release the piston remotely using the wireless trigger. As the ball launches vertically, both the cart and the ball maintain the same horizontal velocity, demonstrating how gravity only affects vertical motion. The ball falls precisely back into the cart, showcasing a powerful visual experiment in projectile motion and Newton’s laws.

Built for accuracy, the cart includes a conical rubber catcher to compensate for small trajectory variations, ensuring reliable results. This kit comes with two 3/4" steel balls and operating instructions. Six AAA batteries (not included) are required for use.

An essential physics teaching tool, the Ballistics Car engages students in hands-on learning of kinematics, motion, and trajectory—making it ideal for high school, college, and university science programs.
