Galileo's Ramp
This demo shows how the distance the cart rolls down the incline increases with even units of time. Chimes are placed at various points along the track.
Setup:
Place the track between two tables of different height (Or prop one end of the track with something to create an incline)
Use ring stands, right angle clamps, and metal rods to position and hang chimes above the track.
Set the cart at the higher end of track and let it ride down the track.
Notes:
Be sure that the cart's wheels spin freely and that they are in the grooves on the track.
