1D60.20 Double Cube Drop
Double Cube Drop Demo
Double Cube Drop Demo
Double Cube DropUsing the double cube drop demonstration, we are able to launch one cube in a horizontal velocity and simply drop the other with no horizontal velocity. The cubes reach the ground at the same time as a result of the force G acting on both the same way.
1D60.30 Monkey and HunterBlow a ball through a tube. Tin foil at muzzle disconnects the circuit which turns off the electromagnetic and drops the monkey. The ball hits the monkey.
