A steel ball is horizontally launched into a catcher. The catcher is attached to a pendulum. The steel ball and the catcher experience inelastic collision and the ball’s momentum is transferred to the ball/catcher system. The pendulum reaches a maximum height that can be used to calculate the potential energy of the system. This information can be used to calculate the initial velocity of the steel ball.
