In a "ballistic pendulum" a bullet hits a pendulum which is initially at rest. After the collision the pendulum with the bullet embedded in it rises until it comes to rest. Which one of these is correct? (Neglect air resistance and friction in the suspension of the pendulum.)

The mechanical energy is conserved during the collision.
The mechanical energy is conserved during the swing.
The momentum is conserved during the swing.
Both the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved during the swing. Both the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved during the collision.

Revisiting the ballistic pendulum. In lab we used both conservation of momentum and conservation of energy to relate the launch speed of a projectile to the maximum height of the swing of a pendulum. Here we will study the parts of this problem in a bit more detail. (a) Briefly explain why momentum is conserved during the collision of the projectile and the pendulum, but mechanical energy is not conserved. (b) Briefly explain why mechanical energy (kinetic plus potential energy)...

Can someone explain: The ballistic pendulum is an apparatus used to measure the speed of a projectile. An 8.0 g bullet is fired into a 2.5 kg ballistic pendulum bob, which is initially at rest, and becomes embedded in the bob. The pendulum then rises to a vertical distance of 6.0 cm. What was the initial speed of the bullet (in m/s)?

Consider the ballistic pendulum diagram shown in the introduction. You may assume that there is no friction or air resistance. After the ball hits and lodges inside the pendulum, and while it is freely swinging, would you expect energy to be conserved in the ball-pendulum system? If yes, write the relevant equation for the conservation of energy here. Define all variables through a labeled diagram. Note that for this and all subsequent questions, you don’t need to solve the equations...

A pendulum bob, with mass 1.60 kg, is held at rest initially in a horizontal position as shown. The string has negligible mass and a length of 1.20 m. The bob is then released from rest. It swings down and collides with a block of mass 2.40 kg initially at rest. Ignore air resistance. a) Use the Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy to find the speed of the pendulum bob just before the collision. b) (The bob collides with...
