Phys 209A: Pre-lab: The Ballistic Pendulum Name 1. State in words and then show with an equation the conservation of mechanical energy. 2. State in words and then show with an equation the conservation of linear momentum. 3. A 0.020 kg bullet is fired straight upward through a hole in a table into a 5.0 kg block of wood where it embedsitself. The initial velocity of the bullet was 3.0 x 105 m/s. a. Draw a picture of the physical situation. b. Use the conservation of linear momentum to determine the initial speed of the bullet/block system. C. Use the conservation of mechanical energy to determine the maximum height that the center of mass of the bullet/block system rises
