ballistic pendulum

• Dispositivo utilizado en experimentos de física para medir la velocidad de un proyectil, generalmente una bala, capturándolo en un péndulo oscilante y midiendo la altura que alcanza el péndulo.

A device used in physics experiments to measure the velocity of a projectile, typically a bullet, by capturing it in a swinging pendulum and measuring the resulting swing height.

   A device used to measure the momentum of a projectile, typically a bullet, by capturing it in a swinging pendulum and measuring the resulting swing height.

   péndulo balístico

   • The ballistic pendulum was used in the lab to determine the speed of the bullet.
   • By measuring the height of the swing, the momentum of the projectile was calculated.
   • The experiment with the ballistic pendulum demonstrated the conservation of momentum.
