Inertia of Motion Model
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11601
Quick Answer: The Inertia of Motion Model is a spring-launcher demonstration for Newton’s first law: a compression spring, set by hand and freed with a quick-release trigger, fires a ball vertically from a funnel assembly on a stable base.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- High-tension compression spring and launcher mechanism.
- Funnel assembly with a separate ball.
- Spring compressed by hand and freed with a rapid-release trigger.
- Stable base for vertical launches.
- Light components for controlled flight paths.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Mechanism | High-tension compression spring and launcher |
| Ball holder | Funnel assembly with separate ball |
| Operation | Manual spring compression, rapid-release trigger |
| Base | Stable base for vertical launches |
How It Is Used
The spring is pushed down by hand and released with the trigger, sending the ball straight up from the funnel. The launch is used to discuss Newton's first law and the tendency of a moving body to keep moving until a force changes its motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
