Question
Consider the ballistic pendulum setup: A bullet of mass m with speed vo hits a pendulum
bob of mass M, suspended by a massless rope of length L. The bullet gets stuck inside,
making the pendulum swing up to some height.
The maximum height the pendulum can reach is solved below:
L

M
Solution: At the start, the bullet has a momentum muo. When they collide and the bullet gets inside,
the speed of the combined masses can be obtained using conservation of linear momentum.

where u is the speed of the combined masses. Therefore, we get
Finally, we have h =
