High-accuracy Monkey & Hunter Set
C15-2851-W0
【Product Description】
Ball collision system with a high accuracy hit probability, known as “the Monkey and the Hunter”.
【Overall Advantages to Users】
-
Compared with conventional type of apparatus, this product better demonstrates an essential and classic physics problem, known as “the Monkey and the Hunter”, by providing students with a high-accuracy collision of a projectile (an aluminum ball used as a bullet shot by a hunter) with a free-falling object (a plastic ball used as a monkey falling from a tree).
-
Achieved highly accurate and repeatable collision of a small projectile (an aluminum ball of diameter 25mm) with a small free-falling object (a plastic ball of diameter 35mm) over the airline distance of around 1500mm.

【To all users】
- A long aiming guide rail (1650mm) raises the collision probability of two balls in the air.
- Comparison experiments can be easily carried because the ball launching (initial) speed is adjustable in steps.
- In case of the collision experiment in horizontal position, the guide rail must be hold by a stand because of its legs’ height.
- The ball dropping device at top of the guide rail and the ball launching device at bottom of the guid rail are controlled by electricity. Therefore, the system needs a DC power supply to operate.
【To teachers】
- For even higher effectivity demonstration, it is good to take a high speed movie by digital camera or a smart phone.
- Size after assembly (excluding a support stand): 1,900 × 570 × 720mm
