  2. Large wooden box to hold ballistic pendulum and catch the projectile (B4)
  3. Plain paper (TA Table)
  4. Carbon paper. (B2)
  5. Masking tape
  6. 30 cm metric ruler. (D5.1)
  7. 2-meter stick. (A1)                                                           
  8. Plumb bob with string. (B1)

General class use:

  1. ACCULAB Electronic Digital Scale (300 gram capacity). One per room on TA table. (D8.4)

Notes and tests:

  1. The ballistic pendulum launcher should be set up to launch the projectile away from the computers..
  2. The clip that catches the pendulum after launch need to be checked to make sure it catches the swinging pendulum. If it doesn’t it needs to be repaired. Use #10 rubber bands on the projectile catcher.
