Ballistic Pendulum for School, Colleges and Universities Purpose.

This classic physics experiment combines the principles of Conservation of Momentum and Conservation of Energy to determine the muzzle velocity of a projectile. Only simple mass and distance measurements are required to perform the experiment.

Designed and manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical requirements of modern physics laboratories and educational training facilities.

Working principle :

A projectile is fired into a pendulum, causing the pendulum to rise. Using the projectile mass, pendulum mass, and increase in pendulum height, students can calculate the gravitational potential energy of the system. Since this potential energy is equal to the pendulum's kinetic energy at the lowest point, the speed of the pendulum at impact can be determined. By applying the Law of Conservation of Momentum, the projectile's initial speed can then be calculated.

What's included :

• 1 × Ballistic Pendulum (without launcher)
• 1 × Projectile Launcher
• 1 × Projectile Launcher Base
• 2 × 2.5 cm Plastic Balls
• 2 × 2.5 cm Steel Balls
• 2 × 50 g Pendulum Masses
• 1 × 2-D Collision Accessory
• 2 × Safety Glasses
• 1 × Operations and Experiment Manual

• Repeatable Performance : Three velocity settings on the projectile launcher provide consistent projectile velocities.
• Accurate Measurement : The 0°–80° angle measurement scale has a resolution of 0.5°, allowing experimental results within 2.5% of predicted values.
• Removable Pendulum : The pendulum can be removed to determine its mass and center of mass, allowed to swing freely for rotational inertia calculations, or mounted backwards for elastic collision experiments.
• Ball and Pendulum Masses : Includes two 50 g pendulum masses, two steel balls, and two plastic balls.
• Projectile Launcher : The launcher can be mounted on the opposite side of the base, providing convenient access to its accessories.
• Unique Angle Measurement : A low-friction, low-mass pointer is pushed to the pendulum's highest point and remains there for accurate angle measurement.
