Ballistic Pendulum Physics Problems - Conservation of Momentum & Energy - Inelastic Collisions

This physics video tutorial explains how to solve the ballistic pendulum problem where a bullet is fired at a hanging wooden block. The bullet remains embedded in the block in an inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is conserved. The bullet block system rises to a height 'h' which this video explains how to calculate it using conservation of energy principles. Conservation of momentum occurs for any collision - elastic collisions and inelastic collisions. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

My god, thank you. Have to test over this and momentums and impulse, and this was my biggest problem. U solved it so simply and fast, u r true teaching master (my opinion)

[Jtheman-bfrw]

Thanks you so much for uploading these physics videos. They are the main reason I'm doing so well in the class. You are a legend my :)

Thank you very much Mr. TOCT I just got full credit back on my FRQ test because of this video, very much appriciate it

[NoName-flwc]

Thank you for all the awesome videos. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 years. They help so much.

[sthelilesihle]

Sir, thank you so much your videos are always the most clarifying!!

[violetcrystal]

THANKS!
Your vids have helped me with calculus, organic chem and now physics! :)

[Valentinebeats]

Fire! Nice sound selection, keep grinding

[kavyahkool]

thanks for this video..was stuck at a numerical and really helped it.

[lopamudrakar]

Nice explanation!👌👌 Wonderful! You r the small brother of Khan Academy!

One tip is that, When you find the common velocity, you can use it in ''h=v^2/2g''.

[Aradhya]

I m from india....I❤️i ur way of teaching and making me understand

[yumi-jxnz]

what if we dont have either the initial speed of the bullet and the final speed of the bullet+block... how do we find them?

[firasbaroody]

Thank you for this great explanation ❤

[oguzgonul]

wth this looks so much easiser than i expected. Are this questions easy ones ? or did i learn it correct ?

[jesusrosas]

helped me with two of my problems. Thank you!!

[turalmuradov]

thanks for the work! you are brilliant! what program do you use to write on?

[isangwelouangemarlene]

Thank you so much this video is really helpful

[Fiasquo]

Got a question like this for an assignment 💀 actually have no clue what do to for it so thnx
