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 ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of bullets. In these experiments, a bullet is fired into a large block suspended by wires. The bullet is embedded in the block and the collision is inelastic. After the impact, the block swings forward and rises. a. If a 2.1-g bullet is fired at 440 m/s into a 4.0 kg block, how far will it swing up? (what is the maximum vertical displacement of the block?) b. Find an equation...
3. The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile, such as a bullet. The projectile, of mass m, is fired into a large block of mass M, which is suspended like a pendulum. As a result of the collision, the pendulum and projectile together swing up to a maximum height h. Determine the relationship between the initial horizontal speed of the projectile, v, and the maximum heighth

11. The ballistic pendulum (see the figure below) is a device used to measure the speed of a fast-moving projectile such as 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. m+m V1i 2 (a) Determine the ratio of the momentum immediately after the collision to the momentum immediately before the collision...
A ballistic pendulum, as shown in the figure, was a device used in the past century to measure the speed of bullets. The pendulum consists of a large block of wood suspended from long wires. Initially, the pendulum is at rest. The bullet strikes the block horizontally and remains stuck in it. The impact of the bullet puts the block in motion, causing it to swing upward to a height h. If the bullet has a mass of 12.8 g,...
QUESTION The ways that mechanical energy is lost from the system in this experiment include: (Select all that apply.) friction in the mechanisms emission of sound waves energy loss from the change in height of the block thermal energy loss due to air drag friction to bring the bullet to a stop relative to the ground PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. The ballistic pendulum (Figure a) is a device used to measure...
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...

OAL Combine the concepts of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum in inelastic collisions. In figure a, a bullet and a wooden block are shown in two configurations. In the first configuration, the block, labeled m2, hangs vertically from a ceiling. A bullet, labeled m1, approaches the block horizontally from the left. A rightward arrow points from the bullet and is labeled vector v1i. A rightward arrow, shorter than the first, points from the block and is labeled vector...
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...
