To compare: The speed of second projectile with the first.
Answer to Problem 31P
The second projectile is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
In the experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height of the pendulum
Formula used:
According to the conservation of momentum principle, momentum before and after the collision remains constant that is
For the projectile motion velocity is related as
Using this in the main formula,
Calculation:
Now, comparing both the velocities with the same mass,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the second projectile is
