Ballistic pendulum

Article No: 11229-00

For demonstrating projectile motion and for quantitative investigation of trajectories, in particular for determining the height and range of a projectile as a function of the angle and absolut value of the initial velocity of the projectile. With the ballistic pendulum the momentum of the projectile can be determined.

Key Features
  • Reproducible projectile ranges up to 3 m (scatter of the projectile ranges approx. 1%)
  • Continuously variable projection angle between 0° and 90°
  • Selection of three different initial velocities
  • Two balls with different masses but with the same diameter
  • Verifying the energy principle and the principle of linear momentum
  • Demonstration of the difference between elastic and inelastic collision
  • Determination the speed of the ball
  • Varying the pendulum's mass and thereby the pendulum's centre of gravity, using additional weights
