Ballistic pendulum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ballistic pendulum is a device for measuring a bullet's momentum, from which it is possible to calculate the velocity and kinetic energy. Ballistic pendulums have been largely rendered obsolete by...

A ballistic pendulum tester for the absolute measurement of the energy (or work) of rupture of cords and yarns on impact is described, ... The significance of these quantities is dis cussed, and the results of exploratory tests on a number of rayon constructions are given, showing the application of the various measures.

The ballistic pendulum is a classic example of a dissipative collision in which conservation of momentum can be used for analysis, but conservation of energy during the collision cannot be invoked because the energy goes into inaccessible forms such as internal energy.

Order: complete patent application if necessary of nozzle and plurality; ... He bought some commercial rockets and measured their thrust using a ballistic pendulum, a heavy mass suspended by ropes, to which the rocket was attached. The rocket was fired, and the height to which the pendulum rose provided a measure of the...

In my first physics lab in college we actually fired a rifle bullet into a log suspended from the ceiling and computed the speed of the bullet. Nobody today would dream of doing something that hazardous as a physics demonstration (or would they?).

A historically important practical application of inelastic collisions is the following method used to determine the speed of a rifle bullet. ... The contraption on the tables in the classoom and shown in the picture on the right is a contemporary version of the same idea. The video shows a ballistic pendulum in action.
