Ballistic pendulum is used for measuring a bullet’s momentum, in respect to that it is possible to calculate its velocity an kinetic energy. After the collision, conservation of energy can be used in the swing of the combined masses upward, since the gravitational potential energy is conservative. And the motion in two dimensions is called the motion of projectiles. The projectile object moves under the force of gravity. An object is thrown from vertical under negligible efect of air resistance is considered in a projectile motion.
