Part 1.) Suppose that we have a ball of mass m=50.0g and a pendulum bob of mass M=250.0g attached to a pendulum of length R=0.60m. If we fire the ball into the pendulum with initial velocity v=10.0 m/s, and the ball sticks in the pendulum bob, to what vertical height will ball/pendulum bob combination rise? What angle does this correspond to?

Part 2.) If instead we fired the ball horizontally with the same initial velocity, from a height 1.00m above the ground, how far away (horizontally) would the ball travel before hitting the ground?

pendulum of mass m= 0.8 kg and length l=1 m is hanging from the ceiling. The massless string of the pendulum is attached at point P. The bob of the pendulum is a uniform shell (very thin hollow sphere) of radius r=0.4 m, and the length l of the pendulum is measured from the center of the bob. A spring with spring constant k= 7 N/m is attached to the bob (center). The spring is relaxed when the bob is...

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...
