Description:
A blast of pressurized air shoots a dart towards the target. As it leaves the barrel it passes through a photogate which cuts power to an electromagnet holding the target. The dart hits the target as it falls showing that both have fallen at the same rate. This is also available on video tape and can be shown in slow motion. (Garfield has been substituted for the monkey to cut down controversy.)
