Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension (Product Code: SLE/PHY/06) is a curved-track ball collision apparatus used to study how momentum and energy change in elastic and inelastic collisions in school and college physics labs. A support on its fixed base holds a target ball at the right height for a centre-to-centre impact, and a pin with three holes gives a repeatable release height. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Study of energy and momentum changes in elastic and inelastic collisions |
| Track | Curved track with a base permanently mounted at one end |
| Collision plane | Track is level so the collision occurs only in the horizontal plane, simplifying calculations |
| Target support | Support on the base holds a ball at the proper height for a centre-to-centre collision with a second ball rolling down the track |
| Release control | A pin and three holes in the track keep the drop height of the ball consistent |
| Product code | SLE/PHY/06 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
The apparatus is set at the edge of a bench so that balls leaving the base fall to the floor as projectiles. Students first release the incident ball alone from one of the pin positions and mark where it lands, then place the target ball on the support and repeat. Because every ball leaves from the same height, the horizontal distance to each landing mark is proportional to its velocity just after impact, so momentum before and after can be compared directly.
Repeating runs from the other holes shows how a greater drop height raises the incident speed, and comparing kinetic energy before and after tells students whether a collision was elastic or inelastic. Where the balls leave in different directions, their momenta are resolved into components in the horizontal plane. A plumb line marks the floor point below the launch position, making the apparatus a natural companion to the projectile motion kit school labs already use.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension. The apparatus is manufactured at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct, so schools, colleges and dealers deal with the maker itself for quotations, repeat orders and any replacement parts they need. Company background is on our company profile.

What does the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension demonstrate?
The Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension demonstrates how momentum and kinetic energy change when one ball strikes another, letting students compare elastic and inelastic collisions. The collision takes place only in the horizontal plane, which keeps the calculations simple.
How is the drop height kept the same on every run?
The Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension has a pin and three holes in its curved track. Setting the pin in a hole fixes where the incident ball is released, so the drop height, and therefore the speed at impact, stays consistent between runs.
How is the target ball positioned on the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension?
On the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension, a support on the base holds the target ball at the proper height for a centre-to-centre collision with the ball rolling down the track. The base is permanently mounted at one end of the curved track.
Are the balls included with the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension?
The Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension is designed around an incident ball rolling down the track and a target ball on the support. Please confirm the balls supplied, and any spares you want, when you request a quotation through our contact page.
Who manufactures the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension?
The Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers buy it directly from the manufacturer.
What should a quotation request for this apparatus include?
A quotation request for the Apparatus Collision 2 Dimension should give the product code SLE/PHY/06, the number of sets, any accessories such as a plumb line or metre scale, and the delivery location in India or international markets.
