PIRA Classification: 1D60.16
Description:
A PASCO cart, fitted with a projectile
launcher, is attached to a mass hanging over a pulley. The launcher will
be set up so the ball will be fired straight
into the air. When the cart passes a trigger, the ball will fire. Because
the cart is accelerating, the ball will fall behind the launcher.
Special Instructions: Turn the launcher on (an LED will
continually flash when on). Push the ball down into the launcher
until it catches.
