Ballistic Pendulum Lab Objective: Determine the velocity of the projectile as it reaches the pendulum. Hypothesis: Firstly‚ we guess that the outcome of the velocity of the projectile is 6.3 meters per second [left].The formulas we use to find the final velocity of the projectile are Trigonometry‚ Kinetic and Potential Energy‚ and Momentum. Mass of the pendulum = 80.0g Mass of the ball = 7.64g Length of the string = 21cm Equipment: Ballistic pendulum device Metal

The purpose of this experiment is to use the ballistic pendulum to determine the initial velocity of a projectile using conservation of momentum and conservation of energy as well as motion of projectiles. Carbon Paper Meter Stick Ballistic Pendulum In this experiment a steel ball will be shot into the bob of a pendulum and the height‚ h‚ to which the pendulum bob moves‚ as shown in Figure 1‚ will determine the initial

Introduction: The study of the ballistic pendulum began with Benjamin Robins in the early 1700 ’s. Robins was an English mathematician and writer on ballistics‚ and used this testing apparatus for the evaluation of the strength of gunpowder and the measurement of air resistance (Calvert‚ 2006). At the time of the American Revolution a loyalist named Benjamin Thompson also utilized and expanded the use to the ballistic pendulum. He further evaluated the efficiency of gunpowder. He fired from

the experiment‚ and then taking our data and presenting it and our results in a report. Method: For this experiment‚ the goal was to use a simple pendulum (shown to the left) to measure the period of the motion. For task 1‚ we just became familiar with DataStudio and learned how to use it to time each “swing” of the ball on the end of the pendulum. Then‚ in task 2‚ using the materials provided we decided that the variables that would have effect on the period are the length of the string

Pendulum From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released‚ the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass

is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation. As t-1/f the complete distance of the pendulum and its mass is finished ‚ the

CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON A PENDULUM OBJECTIVE To measure centripetal force exerted on a pendulum using the force sensor bob and in so doing compare this value determined by force calculations based on the height of the pendulum. THEORY Newton’s laws of motion are the basis for this experiment. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of momentum of a body is dependent on
