The figure below shows three points in the operation of the ballistic pendulum. The projectile approaches the pendulum in part (a) of the figure. Part (b) of the figure shows the situation just after the projectile is captured in the pendulum. In part (c) of the figure, the pendulum arm has swung upward and come to rest at a height h above its initial position. (a) Prove that the ratio of the kinetic energy of the projectile-pendulum system immediately after the collision to the kinetic energy immediately before is m1/(m1+m2).
