About This Product
Students work out the smallest height from which a ball should complete the loop, then release balls from different heights and note where they make it round and where they fall away at the highest point of the loop. The gap between prediction and result shows the energy taken by friction and by the ball’s rotation, and swapping between steel, glass and wood brings mass and material into the comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a rolling ball need a higher release point than a sliding object?
A rolling ball shares its energy between forward motion and spinning, so it has less speed at the highest point of the loop and must start higher to stay on the track.
