BALL COLLISION DEMONSTRATION DEVICE

摘要

A ball collision demonstration device includes a base, and first and second support assemblies carried by the base. The first and second support assemblies are spaced-apart and angled away from each other so that a separation distance at adjacent ends is greater then a separation distance at medial portions of the first and second support assemblies. The device further includes balls, and a respective pair of flexible lines coupled between the first and second support assemblies and each ball. The balls are suspended in a horizontal line parallel to the base. The respective pairs of flexible lines have, from the medial portions towards the adjacent ends of the first and second support assemblies, increasing line lengths and increasing separation distances between each pair.

1. A ball collision demonstration device comprising:
a base; first and second support assemblies carried by said base and spaced-apart and angled away from each other so that a separation distance at adjacent ends is greater then a separation distance at medial portions of said first and second support assemblies; a plurality of balls; a respective pair of flexible lines coupled between said first and second support assemblies and each ball, with said plurality of balls being suspended in a horizontal line parallel to said base; and said respective pairs of flexible lines having, from the medial portions towards the adjacent ends of said first and second support assemblies, increasing line lengths and increasing separation distances between each pair; whereby pulling back and releasing at least one ball at a first end of the horizontal line causes at least one ball at a second end of the horizontal line to rise to a height approximately equal to a height that the at least one ball at the first end was released.
