Need help With Analysis questions.
Ballistic Pendulum Lab In this lab, you will explore conservation of Energy and Momentum in an inelastic collision between a projectile and a cardboard box suspended from a string. In particular, you will see that the transfer of linear momentum is easily accounted for in an inelastic collision, but the transfer of kinetic energy is not easy to measure directly. This is because Kinetic Energy in collisions transfers to vibrational, acoustic, and potential energy. Once this system is in motion after the collision, however, you will see that the Kinetic Energy of the projectile and box together is completely converted to Potential energy when the system has come to rest.
