About This Product
The blower is placed on a dry bench, connected to the track and switched on, and the airflow is allowed to settle before a glider is placed on the track. With friction reduced, students can study uniform motion, acceleration, elastic and inelastic collisions and the conservation of momentum more clearly. Schools, colleges and institutes in Dominican Republic, Central African Republic, Suriname, South Sudan, Chile and Kiribati can order the Air blower from Educational Instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Air Blower be used with a low-friction track?
