Question

In a ballistic pendulum, a bullet with a mass of 60.0 g is fired into the catcher with a mass of 550.0 g. The length of the pendulum is 70.0 cm. After the bullet embedded into the catcher, the total system rises to an angle of 50 degrees compared to the perpendicular line. Find the initial speed of the Bullet when it gets fired by the gun. (a) Derive equation. (b) find the magnitude of speed. (apply conservation of momentum and then conservation of energy)
