Description:
Accessory is mounted on a Pasco Dynamic Cart. A trigger Bracket mounts onto the cart track. The tab on the bracket blocks a photogate on the cart which launches the ball vertically. The cart can travel through a tunnel and the ball Flies over the tunnel and falls back into the cart on the other side of the tunnel. This demonstrates the independence of vertical and horizontal motion.
