This is a demonstration of conservation of energy and momentum using the ballistic pendulum, a gun that fires a steel ball, which is captured by a pendulum, which then swings up to a maximum height.
This demonstration was created at Utah State University by Professor Boyd F. Edwards, assisted by James Coburn (demonstration specialist), David Evans (videography), and Rebecca Whitney (closed captions), with support from Jan Sojka, Physics Department Head, and Robert Wagner, Executive Vice Provost and Dean of Academic and Instructional Services.
