Free Fall Set

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10490

The Free Fall Set (also referenced by its German name, Set Freier Fall) from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is a physics laboratory apparatus used for demonstrating free fall, gravitational acceleration, and motion under gravity in mechanics practicals.

Quick answer: The Free Fall Set is a stand-mounted apparatus that releases a falling object from a measured height so that a connected timer or sensor can record fall time, letting students calculate the acceleration due to gravity experimentally. It is supplied as a standard physics lab apparatus by Lab Glassware Manufacturer; no independent certification is claimed unless separately confirmed in writing.

Measuring Gravitational Acceleration with a Free Fall Set

The standard free fall experiment releases an object from a fixed, measured height and records the time it takes to fall, allowing students to calculate the local acceleration due to gravity using standard kinematics equations. Because the fall time for a typical bench-height drop is very short, precise timing is essential — institutions often pair this apparatus with a compatible Smart Timer or an Impact Plate for Time-of-Flight Measurement to trigger and stop the clock automatically rather than relying on manual stopwatch readings. Before ordering, buyers should confirm exactly which timer and sensor accessories are bundled with a given free fall set listing, since these are commonly supplied separately depending on the lab's existing equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Free Fall Set measure?
It is used to demonstrate free fall and measure the time taken for an object to fall a known height, from which the acceleration due to gravity can be calculated.

Does the Free Fall Set include a timer?
Timer and sensor accessories should be confirmed at the time of order, as they are not always bundled as standard with every free fall set listing.
