Question

The ballistic pendulum apparatus is on a table, such that the launcher is horizontal, and at a height of 116 cm above the floor. If the ball that is shot hits the ground at a horizontal distance 189 cm from the launcher, what is its launch speed (in m/s)?

Step 1

The equation is given by: \[ y = v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] where: y = vertical distance (116 cm or 1.16 m) \( v_{0} \) = initial vertical velocity (unknown) t = time g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2) Show more…
