Sensor Ballistic Pendulum Kit - ME-1263
Everything you need to do the Ballistic Pendulum and projectile motion experiments
Product Summary
This easily-assembled ballistic pendulum consists of a Mini Launcher and Mini Ballistic Pendulum Accessory mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor. The complete motion of the swing of the pendulum can be graphed.
Perform the conventional ballistic pendulum experiment in which the muzzle velocity of the ball is determined using the maximum height to which the pendulum swings.
Examine the difference between a completely inelastic collision (the ball is caught in the pendulum) to a partially inelastic collision (the ball bounces off the back side of the pendulum).
Verify that the angular momentum of the ball (as measured about the pivot point) is equal to the angular momentum of the ball and pendulum immediately after the ball is caught.
