Ballistic Pendulum B. When a projectile is fired into a box, momentum is transferred. If the box is dangling on a string, it will swing like a pendulum. Suppose a 1 gram Nerf projectile is fired into a 25 gram empty Kleenex box several times, and on average the box swings back 6 degrees from the impact. The length of the string is 0.8 meters.

Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right In the figure, a ball of mass m = 56 g is shot with speed vi = 23 m/s (in the negative direction of an x axis) into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M = 263 ginitially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible. (a) What is the speed of the spring gun after the ball stops in the barrel? (b)What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring?
