What is Ballistic Pendulum Velocity Calculation about?

The ballistic pendulum allows one to calculate the speed of a bullet by measuring the mass of the bullet and catcher, the height reached by the swinging pendulum, and using conservation of energy and momentum. The device consists of a spring-loaded gun that fires a ball into a hanging catcher, causing it to swing up like a pendulum. The maximum height and masses are used to calculate the initial velocity of the ball before firing using equations that equate the kinetic and potential energy when the catcher
