Description:
Ballistic Pendulum
Specification:
Ballistic Pendulum -Here's a simple way to observe the relation between kinetic and
potential energy. Made of durable metal. It consists of a spring gun
from which a ball can be launched horizontally and a block to catch the
ball. A freely swinging pendulum moves to a maximum height where a
pointer delineates its highest point of ascension. By measuring this
height and using conservation of mechanical energy, you can determine
the kinetic energy of the pendulum plus projectile. Includes: spring gun
fixed on base that fires projectiles at 3 speeds; pendulum and block
with mass of 80 grams; scale and pointer to indicate highest point of
swing; steel ball; operating instructions.
