a)
m1 = mass of bullet = 4.51 g = 0.00451 kg
v1i = initial speed of the bullet before collision = ?
m2 = mass of pendulum = 1.051 kg
v2i = initial speed of the pendulum before collision = 0 m/s
v = speed of the combination just after collision
h = height = 4.84 cm = 0.0484 m
Using conservation of energy
Gravitational potential energy gained = Kinetic energy lost
(m1 + m2) gh = (0.5) (m1 + m2) v2
v = sqrt(2gh)
v = sqrt(2 x 9.8 x 0.0484)
v = 0.974 m/s
b)
Using conservation of momentum
m1 v1i + m2 v2i = (m1 + m2) v
(0.00451) v1i + (1.051) (0) = (0.00451 + 1.051) (0.974)
v1i = 228 m/s

Find the initial sped of the bullet, v1i 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 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...
A bullet with some mass, m, and initial speed, vi, collides with a wooden block of mass M that is hanging at the end of a light rope. The bullet imbeds itself in the block and the block and bullet swings upwards reaching a maximum height of h above the initial point of the collision. a. A scientist can measure the masses and the height, show that the initial speed can then be calculated from the following equation: vi= (m+M)/m×root...
PROBLEM 2 (5 points). Momentum and Mechanical Energy conservation A rifle bullet with mass 150 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 1000 g that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to a coil spring. The initial velocity of the bullet was 700 m/s. The impact compresses the springy a distance x. The spring constant is 550 N/m. The spring is ideal. a) Find the magnitude of the block's velocity (with the bullet stuck...
In the ballistic pendulum experiment (A.K.A conservation of momentum & energy), the velocity of the projectile was measured and recorded (vo = 5 m/s). The mass of the projectile was 12 g and the ballistic pendulum mass was 148 g. After the projectile is fired, it hits the ballistic pendulum, and both moved with velocity. Calculate the velocity LaTeX: vv of the projectile and the pendulum after the collision.

Please help me with this. thank you 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?
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.
