Explanation / Answer

[a]

Initial velocity of projectile, Vo= 0.3743 m/sec is closer ot the true value [ true value= 0.3627m/s] .

[b]

Percentage difference of Initial velocity of projectile, Vo= 0.3743 m/sec is

% difference=[true value- Vo ]/ true value * 100%

% difference= [0.3627-0.3743]/ 0.3627 *100%= 3.2 %

Percentage difference of Initial velocity of projectile, Vo= 0.3743 m/sec is 3.2 %

Percentage difference of Initial velocity of projectile, Vo= 6.6277 m/sec is

% difference=[true value- Vo ]/ true value * 100%

% difference= [0.3627-6.6277 ]/ 0.3627 *100%=1727.3 %

Percentage difference of Initial velocity of projectile, Vo= 6.6277 m/sec is 1727.3 %

[c]

The pendulum will be held by a clamp stand to attain the experimental set up in equilbrium.

[d]

Conservation of momentum says that momentum before impact is equal to momentum after impact.

Pbefore= P after

mVo= [m+M] V

Here in both elastic and inelastic case, momentum is conserved,

[e]

Loss of Ke= KE after impact- KE before impact

Loss of Ke= = 1/2 [ m+M] V2- 1/2mVo2

[f]

Yes, Friction in the pendulum causes the calculated velocity to be less than the actual one.
