Ballistic Pendulum Apparatus

This apparatus is designed to clearly illustrate the principles of momentum conservation and the behavior of projectiles. It features a robust and stable base, complemented by a precision-mounted vertical pendulum. The pendulum is equipped with a specially designed pocket that securely holds a ball in a rubber ring, ensuring it remains in place upon impact. The setup allows accurate measurement of the pendulum’s deflection angle, enabling precise calculations of momentum transfer and trajectory. Constructed for durability and ease of use, the apparatus comes complete with a comprehensive instruction manual for guided experimentation.
