A 200-g ball is dropped from rest from a height of 1.4 m. It bounces and returns to the same position.  

a) What is the change in momentum between the two points?

b) If the ball is in contact with the floor for 10-3 s, what impulse does the floor impart to the ball?  

In these cases remember vectors.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Change in momentum equals the average net external force multiplied by the time this force acts.   Δp = FnetΔt

The quantity FnetΔt is given the name impulse. Impulse is the same as the change in momentum.

Where Fnet  is the force exerted by the ground during time Δt.

If you have any doubt in the solution, you can ask in the comment box.

A ball, dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 2 meters, bounces to a height of 1.8 meters, 90% of the initial height. Each subsequent bounce is 90% the height of the previous one. Find the total distance the ball travels up and down (i.e. after the first collision with the ground it has traveled 2 meters down and 1.8 meters up, giving a total distance of 3.8 meters).

The height to which a ball bounces after being dropped provides a measure of how much energy is lost in the collision with the floor or other surface. A small portion of energy is lost to air resistance as the ball is moving, but most is lost in the collision. 1. Trying a number of different balls that you that you may have available, test the height of the bounce using the same height or release for all of the...

Two balls are placed, one above the other, and dropped from a height of 1.4 m. The bottom ball has a mass which is 10 times the mass of the top ball. They are dropped from rest. When the balls strike the floor, they have a head on, elastic collision with one another. (Assume that the bottom ball strikes the floor, instantly reverses direction, and then collides with the top ball, which is still travelling downward.) How high will the...

A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.4 m/s from a height of 29 meters above the ground. Then, 0.6 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 25.6 m/s, from a height of 1 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2. 1) What is the speed of...
