DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
From the performed experiment, I could say that
it was a success. By following the procedures
stated in the manual properly gave us all the
relevant data that are needed. We have computed
properly all that was required for the experiment
too by using the appropriate formula for those.
In the first part of the experiment, we have used
the principles of conservation of energy and
momentum in determining the velocity of the steel
ball using a ballistic pendulum. Our data proves
that the conservation of energy and momentum
can be used in getting the velocity of the steel ball
and pendulum bob. Since the collision was
inelastic, the final velocity of the two masses will
be the same. This conclusion tells us that we have
achieved the first objective of the experiment.
For the second part, we have validated the initial
velocity of the steel ball through projectile motion.
