The ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring the velocity v of a bullet of mass m. It consists of a large wooden block of mass M which is sup- ported by two vertical cords. When the bullet is fired at the block, it is dislodged and the block is set in motion reaching maximum height h. Show that v = (1 + M/m)sqrt(2gh) |
