DCS # | Demonstration | Abstract/Description |
1A20.10 | Gaussian Collision Board | Balls roll down a nail board into parallel chutes forming a probability curve similar to the distribution of molecular velocities. |
1A20.10a | Gaussian curve: Probability Board | 1000's of small ball bearings are funneled down through an array of posts to form the Gaussian Curve. (Must be retrieved from the Physics Exporitorium.) |
