Inertia Apparatus

Product Code : ILS-FAM-11701

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Inertia Apparatus (Product ID: 11701) as part of its forces and motion range. A spring flicks a square plate out from under a ball, and the ball drops straight onto the post beneath it.

Quick Answer

Rest the ball on the square plate set on top of the vertical post, then release the spring. The plate shoots out sideways, but the brief push of friction on the ball is too small to move it far, so the ball stays where it was and drops into place on the post. It is a clear demonstration of inertia: an object at rest stays at rest unless a net force acts on it. Keep fingers and faces clear of the plate's path when releasing the spring.

Where This Is Used

A whole-class starter for Newton's first law, before group work with the Exploring Newton's First Law Inertia Kit (Product ID: 11695). Please confirm the dimensions and whether a spare ball is included at quotation. Browse the full Forces and Motion range or related Kinematics products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the ball?
It stays in place and drops onto the post.

Why does the ball not fly off with the plate?
The friction force acts for too short a time to move it far.

Which law does it show?
Newton's first law of motion (inertia).
