1N30.20 3:1 Collision Balls

Pull back the small ball to about 45-degrees and let it go to set the balls in motion. Be careful not to start with the large ball, as too great a displacement will launch the small ball past 90-degrees.

A large metal ball and a small metal ball are suspended as bifilar pendulums on wires, which are attached to a platform fixed to a table stand. Either ball could be drawn back and released, allowing it to strike the other.
