About This Product
On an air track, gliders ride on a cushion of air so friction hardly affects their motion. It is used to study uniform velocity and acceleration, momentum and collisions, and Newton's laws of motion. Laboratories and colleges in Comoros, Lithuania, Solomon Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Ecuador and Trinidad and Tobago can buy the Air Track Apparatus through an export order.
