Drop Shoot Accessory Model No. ME-9859

Introduction
PASCO's Drop Shoot Accessory is designed to demonstrate the
independence of motion in the x and y directions for a projectile. The
included bracket can be used with either the Short Range Launcher
(ME-6800) or Long Range Launcher (ME-6801). Mount a Photogate
to the bracket to determine the muzzle velocity of the ball as it leaves
the launcher. In addition, a Time of Flight Accessory can be used to
compare the time of freefall for both balls.
Independence of X and Y Motion
1. Mount the Projectile Launcher to a tabletop with a C clamp or
other table clamp.
2. Using the attached plumb bob, set the launch angle to 0º.
3. Slide the Drop Shoot Bracket into the groove on the bottom of the
Projectile Launcher.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew on the bottom to secure the bracket.
