Ballistic Pendulum - Northern Illinois University
... A ballistic pendulum is a device consisting of three parts: a spring gun, a ball that can be launched from the gun, and a cup at the end of a pendulum to catch the ball. The spring gun is designed to fire a ball of mass mb with an initial velocity vi. The pendulum and cup can be moved out of the way ...

Gravitational Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy
... Wasted energy So where does energy go? When an object travels along, the friction or air resistance trying to slow it down changes the kinetic energy of the object into heat energy. This becomes wasted energy. It is lost to the surroundings and it is no longer useful to us. In fact most of the ener ...
