Ballistic Pendulum: A ballistic pendulum is used to measure speed of bullets. It consists of a wooden blocksuspended from fixed support.
A wooden block mass M is suspended with the help of two threads to prevent rotation while swinging. A bullet of mass m moving horizontally with velocity `v_(0)` hits the block and becomes embedded in the block. Receiving momentum from the bullet, the bullet in terms of given quatities.
