PROCEDURES: Part I Ballistic Pendulum WARNING Ensure the trajectory is clear before cocking the spring and while firing. Safety glasses are available upon request 1. Use a scale to measure the mass of the ball: m = 0.05673 kg . 2. Slide the projectile ball (which has a hole in it) onto the rod of the spring gun. 2. When the ball has been placed on the rod, cock the gun by pushing against the ball until the latch catches. Be very careful not to get your hand caught in the spring gun mechanism!!! 3. Fire the gun several times to see how it operates. Ensure the ball lands in the pendulum arm. If you cannot get the arm to catch properly, ask for help. There are several common problems: ● The height of the pendulum arm may be off. ● The opening of the pendulum arm may be at an angle ● The pendulum arm opening may be loose (which will rotate when the ball hits it, instead of catching it). ● The pivots at the top of the pendulum arm may be too tight or too lose. 4. A sharp curved point on the side of the pendulum (or on some models a dot) marks the center of mass of the pendulum-ball system. Let the pendulum bob hang vertically and measure the distance y 1 , of the point marking the center of mass above the base of the gun. ● Record the value of y 1 = 7,5 cm 5. Place the ball on the rod, push against the call to cock the gun, and fire the ball into the stationary pendulum while it hangs freely at rest. The pendulum will catch the ball, swing up, and then lodge in the notched track. 6. Record the vertical distance from the bottom of the base to the center of mass of the ball-pendulum system in Data Table I. 7. Repeat step 6 four more times for a total of five measurements. 8. Loosen the screws holding the pendulum in its support and remove the pendulum. Use a scale and measure the mass of the pendulum: M = 0.160 kg Data Table 1: Record distances in cm and masses in grams.

Calculate the vertical distance that the combined mass rises for each trial. Record these values in Table 1. 1→ y 2 − y 1 = ¿ 24.5cm-7.5cm=17cm 2-5—> y 2 − y 1 = ¿ 25.5cm-7.5cm=18cm 2. Use Equation 4 and calculate the velocity V of the combined masses for each of the five trials. Record your results in Table 1. V 1 ❑ = √ ❑ √ ❑ =1.83m/s V 2 − 5 ❑ = √ ❑ √ ❑ =1.88m/s 3. Use equation 2 and calculate the initial speed of the projectile ball for the five trails and record those values in Calculations Table 1. ⃗ V ox = m + M m ⃗ V ox 1 = ¿ ⃗ V ox 2 − 5 = ¿
