: the speed of a projectile at the moment of leaving the muzzle of a gun.
Q. Is momentum conserved in a pendulum?
While not all of the energy from the bullet is transformed into kinetic energy for the pendulum (some is used as heat and deformation energy) , the momentum of the system is conserved. In the case of a pendulum total mechanical energy is conserved.

Q. Is ballistic pendulum accurate?
Ballistic pendulums have been largely rendered obsolete by modern chronographs, which allow direct measurement of the projectile velocity. Although the ballistic pendulum is considered obsolete, it remained in use for a significant length of time and led to great advances in the science of ballistics.
Q. What type of energy does the pendulum have before the collision?
kinetic energy
Q. What is the bob of a pendulum?
A bob is the weight on the end of a pendulum found most commonly, but not exclusively, in pendulum clocks.
Q. What is one swing of a pendulum called?
For the pendulum, the bob moves back and forth. This back and forth motion is called “oscillation.” Its position is said to oscillate back and forth. Period. The period is the amount of time it takes the bob to make one round trip.
Q. Why bar pendulum is called compound pendulum?
Bar pendulum is called compound pendulum because a compound pendulum has extended mass, just like as a swinging bar. A bar pendulum is the simplest form of compound pendulum. It is in the form of a rectangular bar with holes drilled along its length at equal separation.
Q. What is radius of gyration in bar pendulum?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Radius of gyration or gyradius of a body about the axis of rotation is defined as the radial distance to a point which would have a moment of inertia the same as the body’s actual distribution of mass, if the total mass of the body were concentrated there.
Q. What is the principle of katers pendulum?
Kater’s solution That is, if any pendulum is suspended upside down from its center of oscillation, it has the same period of swing, and the new center of oscillation is the old pivot point. The distance between these two conjugate points was equal to the length of a simple pendulum with the same period.
Q. What is the principle of bar pendulum?
The bar is hung from a knife-edge through one of the many holes along the length. It is free to oscillate about the knife-edge as axis. Any displacement θ, from the vertical position of equilibrium would give rise to an oscillatory motion just as in the case of a simple pendulum.
Q. What advantages does a compound pendulum have over a simple pendulum?
The main difference between simple pendulum and compound pendulum is that, in a simple pendulum, the distance between the centre of gravity of the suspended body and the axis of suspension is large compared to the dimensions of the suspended body whereas, in a compound pendulum, the dimensions of the suspended body are …
