1. A 25.0 g bullet is shot horizontally and embeds intself into a ballistic pendulum. The pendulum is made of a 1.000 m long string with a 2.000 kg mass on the end. The pendulum rises to angle of 35.0° after the collision. (a) What is the final potential energy of the pendulum? (Hint: draw a picture of the raised pendulum, and the right-angle triangle the string forms with the vertical and horizontal.) (b) What is the post-collision velocity of the pendulum? (c) What is the initial velocity of the bullet? Useful identities: sin (0) + cos(0) = 1 ,2 v² = v² + I 2 1. A 25.0 g bullet is shot horizontally and embeds intself into a ballistic pendulum.
