Calculate the % difference in v0 determined by method I and method II: Use g+ 2
Do you think the projectile method or ballistic pendulum method is more accurate,and why?
Questions: 1. Using the data of your experiment, calculate the kinetic energy K0 of the ball just before impact with the pendulum. Use the more precise of the two methods for your calculations.
