Part A and B

Transcribed Image Text:I Review
In a ballistic pendulum an object of mass m is fired with
an initial speed vo at a pendulum bob. The bob has a
mass M, which is suspended by a rod of length L and
negligible mass. After the collision, the pendulum and
object stick together and swing to a maximum angular
displacement 0 as shown (Figure 1).
Part B
An experiment is done to compare the initial speed of bullets fired from different handguns: a 9.0 mm
and a .44 caliber. The guns are fired into a 10-kg pendulum bob of length L. Assume that the 9.0-
mm bullet has a mass of 6.0 g and the .44-caliber bullet has a mass of 12 g. If the 9.0-mm bullet
causes the pendulum to swing to a maximum angular displacement of 4.3° and the .44-caliber bullet
causes a displacement of 10.1° , find the ratio of the initial speed of the 9.0-mm bullet to the speed
of the .44-caliber bullet, (vo)9.0/(vo)44.
