Free Fall Apparatus
Free Fall Apparatus is an educational laboratory instrument designed to study the motion of freely falling objects under the influence of gravity. It typically consists of a vertical support stand, electromagnetic release mechanism, timing sensor or stopwatch interface, and a catching tray or cushioning base. When an object is released from rest, the apparatus records the time it takes to fall a known distance, allowing for precise calculations of acceleration due to gravity (g). Commonly used in physics laboratories, educational institutions, and research settings, the Free Fall Apparatus enables hands-on learning of Newtonian mechanics, kinematics, and motion analysis.
