A ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring bullet speeds. One of the simplest versions consists of a block of wood hanging from two long cords. (Two cords are used so that the bottom face of the block remains parallel to the floor as the block swings upward.) .013-kg bullet traveling at 320 m/s hits a 3.0-kg ballistic pendulum. However, the block is not thick enough for this bullet, and the bullet passes through the block, exiting with one-third of its original speed. How high above its original position does the block rise?

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such a bullet. The bullet is fired into a large block of wood suspended from some light wires. The bullet is stopped by the block, and the entire system swings up to a height h. it possible to obtain the initial speed of the bullet by measuring h and the two masses. As an example of the...

A ballistic pendulum is a device that is used to determine the muzzle velocity of the bullet shot by a hunting rifle, for example. As you know, the velocity of the bullet fired by a rifle dictates the distance it can travel. Those who reload their own bullets may find this device helpful. When a bullet is fired broadside into a suspended 4x4 chunk of wood, the wood swings up from rest by an angle of 60 degrees. Together, the...

Problem 3 A "ballistic pendulum" is a device (now largely obsolete, but very useful in its day) to measure the speed of a bullet as it hits a target. Let the target be a block of wood suspended from a string, as in the figure below. When the bullet hits, it is embedded in the wood, and together they swing, like a pendulum, to some maximum height h. The question is, how do you find the initial speed of the...

The ballistic pendulum is a simple device—the pendulum part consists of a wooden block, which has a mass of 860. grams, hanging from a string. The block is initially at rest. However, a bullet with a mass of 18.0 grams is fired at the block. The bullet embeds itself in the block, and the bullet and block then oscillate back and forth on the string, pendulum style, after the collision. Just before impact with the block, the bullet's velocity is...

A bullet of mass 8 g is fired into a 1.2 kg ballistic pendulum (a block of wood acting as the pendulum bob of a thin metal arm attached to a low friction pivot point) that is initially at rest. The bullet exits the block of wood with a speed of 180 m/s and the wooden block swings from its lowest point to a maximum height of 9.2 cm above that location. Determine the velocity of the bullet before it...

Prob3: In a system of ballistic pendulum, a bullet of mass 5.0 g makes a completely inelastic collision with a block of mass of wood of mass 2.0 kg which is suspended like a pendulum. After the impact, the block swings up to maximum height of 3.0 m. What is the initial speed of the bullet?

1) A ballistic pendulum consists of a 3.60 kg wooden block on the end of a long string. From the pivot point to the center‐of‐mass of the block is a distance of 2.80 m. With the pendulum hanging straight down, a rifle bullet of 28.0 g mass moving with a speed of 210 m/s embeds itself into the wood. To what maximum angle does the pendulum (with embedded bullet) swing upward? 2) The thorium‐228 nucleus decays by emitting an alpha...
