Question

A 59-g bullet is fired horizontally with a velocity v = 260 m/s into the slender bar of a 2.1-kg pendulum initially at rest. If the bullet embeds itself in the bar, compute the resulting angular velocity w of the pendulum immediately after the impact. Treat the sphere as a particle and neglect the mass of the rod. Why is the linear momentum of the system not conserved?

Step 1

- Bullet mass m = 59 g = 0.059 kg. - Pendulum sphere mass M = 2.1 kg (rod mass neglected). - Bullet speed v = 260 m/s (horizontal). - Let R = distance from the pivot to the center of the sphere (point of impact). - Unknown: angular speed ω of the pendulum Show more…
