Step 1
First, we need to find the initial momentum of the bullet before it hits the pendulum. Momentum (p) is given by the formula p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Show more…

A 12.0 -g rifle bullet is fired with a speed of 380 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ into a ballistic pendulum with maxs 6.00 $\mathrm{kg}$ , suspended from a cord 70.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ long (see Example 8.8 in Section 8.3 . Compute (a) the vertical height through which the pendulum rises, (b) the initial kinetic energy of the bullet, and (c) the kinetic energy of the bullet and pendulum immediately after the bullet becomes embedded in the pendalum.
