Product Code : SCL-PLE-11598
Quick Answer: The Conservation of Momentum Model is a curved, inclined metal track that runs down onto a horizontal track, supplied with five steel/marble balls, so that a ball rolled down the slope passes its momentum along a row of stationary balls in a series of collisions.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Curved inclined metal track to accelerate the ball under gravity.
- Horizontal base track keeps the row of balls in line.
- Five steel/marble balls.
- Release one ball or several for different collisions.
- Solid base for stable alignment.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Incline | Curved, inclined metal track |
| Collision track | Horizontal base track |
| Balls | 5, steel/marble |
| Base | Solid foundation |
How It Is Used
A ball released on the curved slope gains speed and strikes the stationary row on the horizontal track; the last ball moves off while the others stay almost still. Releasing more than one ball lets students compare how many leave the far end and relate the result to conservation of momentum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can more than one ball be released on the Conservation of Momentum Model?
Yes. Single or multiple balls can be sent down the curved track, so students can compare different collisions with the balls resting on the horizontal track. Five steel/marble balls are supplied.
