Apparatus Newton's Second Law (Product Code: SLE/PHY/16) is a clamp-mounted spring launcher used to help students visualize and grasp Newton's Second Law of Motion in school physics labs. The sturdy unit projects one ball horizontally while another drops vertically, and both land at the same time; its spring can propel a ball 48 inches from the starting point. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for school physics lab equipment sets in India and abroad.

Once released, each ball has only one force acting on it, its weight, which points straight down. By Newton's second law, the same force per unit mass gives both balls the same downward acceleration, so the one that is launched sideways and the one that simply drops reach the floor together. No horizontal force acts after launch, so the projected ball keeps a steady sideways speed as it falls. Students see and hear the second law at work.
Clamp the unit with its detachable rod to the edge of a bench or to a laboratory stand so it stays rigid when the spring fires. With the horizontal range of up to 48 inches marked on the floor and the launch height measured, older students can calculate the launch speed and fall time. Keep the landing area clear and let the class predict the result before each trial.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), the OEM behind the Apparatus Newton's Second Law. The company produces it at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414), and sells it straight from the manufacturer to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. Requests for a replacement rod or spring mechanism, or for matching units on a repeat order, go to the same team — just ask. The company profile has more background.

How does the Apparatus Newton's Second Law demonstrate the law?
The Apparatus Newton's Second Law launches one ball horizontally while another drops vertically. Both land at the same time because the only force on each is its weight, giving the same downward acceleration, which lets students connect force and acceleration as the second law describes.
How far can the Newton's second law apparatus launch a ball?
The spring device of the Apparatus Newton's Second Law can propel a ball 48 inches from its starting point. Plan a clear landing area of at least that distance in front of the bench or stand where the unit is clamped.
How is the Apparatus Newton's Second Law mounted?
The Apparatus Newton's Second Law has a detachable rod for clamping to a table or a laboratory stand. The unit itself measures 12 x 4-1/2 x 2 inches and weighs 1.21 lb, so it is easy to fix rigidly and to store after class.
Who manufactures the Apparatus Newton's Second Law?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Apparatus Newton's Second Law as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is sold factory-direct, so buyers deal with the manufacturer for quotations and later parts.
What comes in the Apparatus Newton's Second Law pack?
The Apparatus Newton's Second Law comes as the spring launcher unit with its detachable clamping rod, and instructions are provided. To confirm the exact pack contents, including the balls, before ordering, ask ScienceLab through the contact page.
What do I need to send for a quotation on SLE/PHY/16?
For a quotation on the Apparatus Newton's Second Law, code SLE/PHY/16, send the number of units, delivery address or country, and any stands or measuring items to include. ScienceLab supplies schools and dealers in India and international markets directly.
