Quick Answer: The Downward Speed Apparatus is a motion apparatus for measuring how fast an object moves downward, using distance points along its path and the time taken to cover them.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Distance points marked along the downward path
Object released from rest at a starting position
Speed calculated from distance and time readings
Used to compare uniform and non-uniform motion

Use
Demonstrating and measuring the speed of an object moving downward
Application
Downward motion, speed, velocity, acceleration, gravity and kinematics experiments
Learning concepts
Speed, velocity, acceleration, distance, time, gravitational motion, motion analysis
About This Product
Students mark the distances, reset the timer, release the object gently and record the time to each mark. Repeating from different starting points shows how the speed grows as the object moves down, linking distance, time, speed and acceleration. Laboratories and colleges in Afghanistan, Barbados, Samoa, Serbia, Angola and Suriname can buy the Downward speed through an export order.
