1N21.10floor carts and medicine ballPIRA 500
1N21.10floor carts and medicine ball1N21.10Two people on roller carts throw a medicine ball to each other.
1N21.10floor carts and medicine ballM-119Throw a medicine ball or baseball back and forth, throw several baseballs against the wall.
1N21.20catapult from cart to cartPIRA 1000
1N21.20catapult from cart to cart1N21.20Catapult a ball on equal mass as the cart into a catcher in the second cart.
1N21.20catapult from cart to cart7-1.5.4Two carts at rest on a track, one catapults a steel ball into the other, each is photoelectrically timed.
1N21.25thrust cars9-4.5Conservation of momentum of a thrust producing stream on water is shown by two carts on a track: one has a nozzle, the other a bucket to catch the water.
1N21.26thrust cars9-4.7How to pull the plug on a container of water on a cart to show conservation of momentum by reaction to discharging water stream.
1N21.30ballistic air gliderPIRA 1000
1N21.30ballistic air glider1N21.30Shoot a .22 into a wood block mounted on an air glider. Use a timer to determine the velocity.
1N21.30ballistic air gliderAJP 34(3),xxxShoot a 22 into a block of wood on an air cart.
1N21.30ballistic air gliderMi-4A .22 is fired into a block of wood mounted on an air cart.
1N21.30ballistic air glider7-1.5.6A rifle is shot into a car on a track.
1N21.30ballistic air glider11-1.11Shoot a .22 into a block on an air cart.
1N21.40drop sandbag on cartPIRA 1000
1N21.40drop sandbag on cart1N21.40A cart passes by a device that drops a sandbag of equal mass as the cart. Timers measure the velocity before and after the transfer.
1N21.40drop weight on moving cartTPT 19(5),326Drop a weight on a moving cart, two people on roller carts push against each other.
1N21.41drop shot on cart9-4.18Lead shot is dropped from a hopper into a box on a moving cart. The initial velocity is reproducible and the final velocity is measured with a photogate.
1N21.45vertical catapult from moving cartPIRA 1000
1N21.45vertical catapult from moving cart1N21.45Shoot a ball of equal mass from a moving cart into a catcher. Time to determine the velocity before and after the transfer.
1N21.50jump on the cartMg-5aRun at constant velocity and jump on a roller cart.
1N21.55air track ball catcherAJP 57(10),858Shoot a stream of balls at a moving air cart until the cart stops.
