Product Description

Velocity and acceleration of a body depend upon its inertia for a particular accelerating force. The apparatus consists of a flywheel mounted in ball bearings. When torque is applied to it, it starts accelerating. If the inertia of flywheel is reduced by reducing by weight, then for same torque, velocity and acceleration of lighter flywheel will be greater. Thus effect of inertia upon velocity and acceleration is demonstrated. when weight are attached to flywheel, inertia of flywheel is changed.
