In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0265 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high h will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.35 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision. h = m

A 1.72 kg block of soft wood is suspended by two strings from the ceiling. The wood is free to rotatein pendulum-like fashion when a force is exerted upon it. An 8.5 g bullet is fired into the wood. Thebullet enters the wood at 431 m/s and exits the opposite side shortly thereafter. If the wood rises to aheight of 13.8 cm after the collision, then what is the exit speed of the bullet?
A 3.00-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 10.0-kg block of wood suspended by a rope from the ceiling. The bullet becomes embedded in the wood, and, as the result, the block swings up in an arc, like a ballistic pendulum, rising 3.00 mm above its original position. Which of the following is the closest to the initial speed of the bullet? Group of answer choices a. 235 m/s b. 24.3 m/s c. 75.0 m/s d. 811 m/s e. Cannot be determined since the heat generated in the collision is unknown
