The cover page shows the PASCO Ballistic Pendulum with the Short Range Projectile Launcher mounted on the
vertical part of the base. The Ballistic Pendulum is designed for traditional ballistic pendulum experiments and
can also be used for projectile motion experiments and demonstrations. When the Projectile Launcher is used for
projectile motion experiments, the launch angle at the upper launch position can vary from 0 to 90 degrees, and
the firing height is fixed for any launch angle. The Launcher can also mounted in a horizontal position that is
height-adjustable. The vertical base of the Ballistic Pendulum also has a dedicated position for the Launcher for
Ballistic Pendulum experiments. This manual contains copy-ready experiments and demonstrations for the ballis-
tic pendulum and projectile launcher.
