Part of the momentum of the impact will be transmitted to the pendulum frame through imperceptible flexing and energy will be lost through windage and bearing friction. To correct for these factors, remove the spring gun by removing 2 wing screws on the bottom. Position the stop bar to allow the pendulum to be consistently and accurately located at a selected angle to the right. Pull the pendulum back to this position, measure with the indicator and release the pendulum. Ideally, the pendulum will swing as far left as it was released right. The observed difference is due to the above-mentioned error.
4. What are some sources of uncertainty associated with the ballistic pendulum apparatus that we are...
The ballistic pendulum is an apparatus used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such as a bullet. A projectile of mass ml-20 g (vl-30 m/s) is fired into a large block of wood of mass m2-40 g suspended from some light wires. The projectile cmbeds in the block, and the entire system swings through a height h. How can we determine the height h? VIA St
Is kinetic energy conserved in the collision between a ball and a ballistic pendulum? What is a way we know it is not?
10. One way to measure the speed of bullets with a ballistic pendulum (this is just a block hanging from a rope or string that 'absorbs' the bullets) is to shoot a steady stream of bullets into the pendulum, which will push it aside and hold it in a rough equilibrium position at some angle. The speed can be calculated from this equilibrium angle. Suppose that you shoot .22-caliber bullets of mass 15 g into a 4.0 kg ballistic pendulum...
Ballistic Pendulum Version Procedure: Fire a practice shot. Locate the landing point on the floor then secure a piece of white paper to the floor (centered about the landing point). Cover the sheet with a piece of carbon paper and tape it down. 1. Shoot the ball at least 5 times. Take care not to disturb the position of the launcher during the shots. 2. Measure the vertical height H of the projectile launcher from the floor. (Use a plumb...
What is the kinetic energy before and after collision in a ballistic pendulum setting with Mass of bullet = 0.0574kg Mass of pendulum = 0.116kg y = 0.1126m g = 9.81 m/s^2
Question 3 4 pts The ballistic pendulum consists of a block of dense material suspended from a cord and allowed to swing freely. A bullet is fired into the block, lodging itself into the block in a _. The (block+bullet) having now acquired a velocity, swings upward to some maximum height.

Virtual Lab: Ballistic Pendulum Introduction The ballistic pendulum was invented by Benjamin Robins in 1742 as a device mainly designed to accurately measure the speed of fast traveling projectiles (bullets or cannon balls), relying only on measurements of mass and distance, without measurements of time. Knowing the mass of the projectile, estimates of its momentum and kinetic energy could also be made. Although the ballistic- pendulum method has lost its practical importance to more modern methodologies, it was used for...
