Postlab 7 3) Referring to the equipment of lab 7: a 10 g ball is fired at 6 nto a 280 g pendulum. What maximum angle will the pendulum swing to if the effective radius of the pendulum is 28 cm? Explain your solution.

Explanation / Answer

3) Applying momentum conservation for collision,

(10 x 6) + (280 x 0) = (10 + 280) v

v = 0.207 m/s ... this is the speed after the collision,

Applying energy conservation after that,


0 + m v^2 / 2 = m g h + 0

h = v^2 /2 g = 2.18 x 10^-3 m or 0.22 cm


h = L (1 - cos(theta))

0.22 = 28 (1 - cos(theta))

theta = 7.2 deg
