Ballistic Pendulum Apparatus
Product Code : JA-MLE-9381
The Ballistic Pendulum Apparatus (SKU JA-MLE-9381) is a mechanics apparatus for the classic ballistic pendulum experiment, in which a projectile is caught by a pendulum and the height of the swing is used to work out the speed of the projectile. As a ballistic pendulum apparatus for college and senior school practicals, it combines conservation of momentum during the capture with conservation of energy during the swing. Construction details and dimensions are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the ballistic pendulum apparatus
The ballistic pendulum shows two conservation laws working in sequence: momentum is conserved when the projectile is caught, and kinetic energy becomes potential energy as the pendulum rises.
- Finding the speed of a projectile from the rise of the pendulum
- Conservation of momentum in an inelastic collision
- Conversion of kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
- Comparing the result with a projectile-range measurement
