Ballistics Car Apparatus
Model Number: MTM-78
The Ballistics Car Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a mechanics laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate that the forward horizontal motion of a moving car does not affect the vertical motion of a ball projected upward. The MT-10537 is supplied with a 25 mm steel ball and release pin and provides two spring-tension settings for comparative projectile-motion experiments.
Product Specification
The Ballistics Car Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for practical investigations involving projectile motion and the independence of horizontal and vertical components of motion. The apparatus provides a clear demonstration of an important principle in mechanics by combining the horizontal movement of a car with the vertical projection of a steel ball.
The MT-10537 consists of a wheeled car fitted with a spring-operated ball-launching arrangement. When the apparatus is correctly prepared, the steel ball is projected vertically upward while the car continues moving horizontally.
Because the ball possesses the same horizontal velocity as the car at the instant of release, it continues to move horizontally while rising and falling. Under suitable experimental conditions, the ball returns toward the moving car rather than falling behind it. This provides a direct demonstration of the independence of horizontal and vertical motion.
The apparatus features two spring-tension settings, allowing different launching conditions to be investigated. This enables comparative demonstrations involving changes in the vertical component of the projectile motion while retaining the fundamental relationship between the car and ball.
A 25 mm steel ball is supplied with the apparatus along with a release pin. The steel-ball construction provides a convenient reusable projectile for repeated laboratory demonstrations.
The Ballistics Car can support experiments involving projectile motion, inertia, horizontal velocity, vertical acceleration due to gravity, trajectory and vector components of motion. Its compact mechanical design makes it convenient for repeated use in mechanics and dynamics laboratory setups.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Ballistics Car Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, dynamics laboratories, research facilities and other environments conducting motion and projectile investigations.

FAQs
What is the MT-10537 Ballistics Car used for?
The MT-10537 is used to demonstrate projectile motion and the independence of horizontal and vertical components of motion.
What is the model number of this Ballistics Car?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-10537.
What size ball is supplied with the apparatus?
The apparatus is supplied with a 25 mm steel ball.
How many spring-tension settings are provided?
The MT-10537 provides two spring-tension settings for different projectile-motion demonstrations.
Why does the ball return toward the moving car?
At the moment of launch, the ball already has the same horizontal velocity as the car. It therefore continues moving horizontally while simultaneously moving vertically under gravity.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The Ballistics Car uses a mechanical spring and release arrangement, so no electrical power is required.
What principles can be studied with this apparatus?
It can be used for experiments involving projectile motion, inertia, velocity components, gravitational acceleration and independence of perpendicular motions.
