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.
