A 0.500-kg ball is dropped from rest at a point 2.10 m above the floor. The ball rebounds straight upward to a height of 0.520 m. Taking the negative direction to be downward, what is the impulse of the net force applied to the ball during the collision with the floor

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.805 Ns

Explanation:

m = 0.5 kg, h1 = 2.10 m, h2 = 0.520 m

Let it strikes with the ground with velocity v1.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v1^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 2.10

v1 = 6.42 m/s

This velocity is taken as negative because it is in downward direction.

Now the ball rises upto height h2 = 0.520 m . Let it rises with velocity v2.

Again use the third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = v2^2 - 2 x 9.8 x 0.520

v2 = 3.19 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = m (v2 - v1) = 0.5 (3.19 + 6.42)        because v1 is negative

Impulse = 4.805 Ns
