Details

Demonstrate moment of inertia using this set of wands and rings. The distribution of mass affects the moment of inertia of an object. The pair of wands both have the same mass and length. However, when the wand with a movable mass has the mass positioned near its end, the wand is much harder to move around than its counterpart which has its mass distributed evenly.

The pair of rings also have similar mass and diameter. For the ring with movable masses, when the masses are positioned towards the center of the ring, it will roll very differently than when they are positioned near the outside edge. In both instances, with size and mass being the same, the only difference is the location of the center of mass. When an object is spinning, the farther away that the center of mass is from the point of rotation, the more effort it requires to move the object. Includes activity guide.

Each of the wands has a mass of approximately 510 grams and each of the rings has a mass of approximately 350 grams.

  • Hands-on way to feel the moment of inertia
  • Sliding masses are easy to adjust
  • Includes activity guide

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
