1. The ballistic pendulum is a simple device to measure projectile velocity v by observing the maximum angle 9 to which the box of sand with embedded projectile swings. Calculate the angle 8 if the 60 g. projectile is fired horizontally in to the suspended 20 kg box of sand with a velocity of 600 m/s. Also, calculate the percent energy lost during impact. Answer: (a) 0 = 20.7° (b) energy lost during impact = 99.8%

Follow-up Question
This is the velocity of system at bottom.
Let the height gained by system be ℎ.
Hence,
M+mgh=1/2M+mv2 ..........(how you get this equaltion)
l=2m (why is l is 2 m not h which is height)
h=l*2*cos degree ( where this equaltion from)
