A ballistic pendulum is made from a block of m=3kg suspended by a wire of negligible mass. A bullet of m=2g is fired with a speed of v. The bullet collides with the block and is embed inside the block. r
Right after collision, the block with the bullet unside has a speed of v' and swings to a max height of 0.85m above the initial position.

a) Find an expression for V.
b) Find an expression for the energy right at the start of the collision and after it has risen to 0.85m.
c) Solve for V (air resistance negligible)

A block of clay is suspended as part of a ballistic pendulum. You have a gun that uses compressed air to fire a small 5.00 g ball into the clay. As you change the pressure of the air used to fire the ball, you can adjust the speed of the ball as it emerges from the gun. You fire the ball into the clay at a series of known speeds and measure the height to which the clay rises after...
