To exlplore the concepts of mechanics involving linear motion on a near frictionless surface, such as acceleration, collisions (elastic / inelastic), explosions, conservation of momentum and simple harmonic motion etc. Air track, the principal component of the apparatus, comprises of specially designed, rugged, anodized, aluminum alloy extrusion providing a straight working length of 2m is mounted on fore cast metal feet with leveling screws, two on each side positioned along the length. Two rows of fine holes provided on each side all along the length of the track through which jets of the air emanate to form air cushion on which the vehicles float under virtually friction less conditions. One end of the track has an air inlet tube connection for compressed air supply. The track also has a 0-200cm scale graduated in millimetres for measuring distances and recording positions. The kit includes various gliders, which float on the air cushion, together with a large number of attachments to permit a comprehensive range of experiments
