Using a balance, determine the mass of the ball and basket of the ballistic pendulum. Fire the ballistic pendulum and measure the maximum height the pendulum reaches. Use the conservation of energy (initial KE + initial GPE = final KE + final GPE; KE = ½mv2; GPE = mgh) to calculate the initial speed of the pendulum after the ball has collided with the pendulum basket. Next, use the conservation of momentum (total initial p = total final p; p = mv) to determine the initial speed of the ball before it collided with the pendulum basket.

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat added to a system is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed ⇒ as it changes into other forms of energy.

In physics the desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is termed?

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.
