Mechanics—Energy and Work, continued
Magnetic Linear Accelerator—
Demonstration Kit
A slow-moving ball bearing collides with a magnet–ball bearing system, knocking
away the last ball in the series, obeying the conservation of momentum. One problem—
the knocked-away ball appears to shoot at nearly three times the original speed!
When a series of magnets and ball bearings are aligned, a simple magnetic linear
accelerator is created. Similar to the energy stored in a stretched spring, or gravitational
potential energy, magnetic fields also store energy and give the ball bearing its
unbelievable boost. Background information and complete instructions are provided.

Hooke’s Law—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
Students discover Hooke’s law by experimenting
with two different elastic materials and graphically determining the stretch distance
and the force exerted by those materials.

The Bungee-Jumping Egg—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
Students simulate a bungee jump using an egg
and an elastic band. Students calculate the necessary length of the unstretched
bungee cord that will result in the most exhilarating and safe bungee jump. Includes
detailed instructions and a reproducible student worksheet. Two ceiling hooks, which
connect to standard ceiling track, are supplied to easily create a “jumping platform.”
