Ballistic PendulumUsing Conservation of Momentum and Conservation of Energy to Determine the Speed of a Bullet
The kinetic energy of the bullet is not equal to the energy of the can and bullet, energy is dissipated in the inelastic collision
Δh = 0.32m – 0.29m = 0.03m
mb = 0.0005 kgmc = .195 kgVb = ?
Δh
Work backwards, find velocity of Bullet + Can (vb+c) just after the collision using energy:
Energy is NOT conserved in the inelastic collision but Momentum is:
