Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 5.42 m/s

(b) 4.645 m/s

(C)\[ - 2.87{\rm{ }}x{10^3}m/{s^2}\]

(d) \[1.35 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}\,m\]

Step by step solution

01

Calculating velocity just before ball strikes the floor

(a) The initial height of ball is \[1.50{\rm{ }}m\], it rebound up to height of \[1.1{\rm{ m}}\]

Here the ball is free falling object.

Hence the initial velocity of the ball will be zero

The acceleration will be also 9.81 m/s2

The known value

\[\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{U = {\rm{ }}0{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{g = 9.81{\rm{ }}m/{s^2}}\end{array}\\d = {\rm{ }}1.5{\rm{ }}m\end{array}\]

velocity just before it strikes the floor

\[\begin{array}{c}{v^2} - {u^2} = 2gd\\{\left( v \right)^2} - {\left( 0 \right)^2} = 2\left( {9.81} \right)\left( {1.5} \right)\\{v^2} = 29.43\\v = \pm 5.42\,m/s\end{array}\]

\[V = + 5.42\,m/s\]

The final velocity of the ball when before it just strikes the ground is \[.5.42 m/s\]

02

Calculating velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up

(b) velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up

Here in this case the final velocity will be zero

The acceleration will be negative as the body is travelling to the upward direction

\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{V = {\rm{ }}0{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{g = - 9.81{\rm{ }}m/{s^2}}\\{d = {\rm{ }}1.1{\rm{ }}m}\end{array}\]

\[\begin{array}{c}{v^2} - {u^2} = 2gd\\{\left( 0 \right)^2} - {\left( u \right)^2} = 2\left( { - 9.81} \right)\left( {1.1} \right)\\{u^2} = 28.449\\u = \pm 4.645\,m/s\end{array}\]

\[u = - 4.645\,m/s\]

Hence the velocity after the ball just leaves the ground surface is\[ - 4.645\,m/s\]. here the negative sign represents the upward motion.

03

Calculating acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.5 ms

(c) During the contact point the initial velocity is \[5.42{\rm{ }}m/s\]

The final velocity just after the contact is \[ - 4.645{\rm{ }}m/s\]

The time taken in this phenomenon is \[3.5{\rm{ }}mS\]

\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{U = {\rm{ }}5.42{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{V = {\rm{ }} - 4.645{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{T = {\rm{ }}3.5{\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }}{{10}^{ - 3}}s}\end{array}\]

\(\)\(\begin{array}{l}a = \frac{{v - u}}{t}\\a = \frac{{ - 4.645 - 5.42}}{{3.5 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}}}\\a = - 2.87 \times 1{0^3}m/{s^2}\end{array}\)

Acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts \[3.5{\rm{ }}ms\] is\[ - 2.87{\rm{ }}x{10^3}m/{s^2}\] . Here the negative sign represents the upward motion

04

Calculating ball compression during its collision with the floor

Here the displacement is asked indirectly

Hence for this case when the ball is compressed

The time taken in this phenomenon is \[3.5{\rm{ }}ms\]

\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{U = {\rm{ }}5.42{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{V = {\rm{ }} - 4.645{\rm{ }}m/s}\\{T = {\rm{ }}3.5{\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }}{{10}^{ - 3}}s}\\{a = - 2.87{\rm{ }}x{{10}^3}m/{s^2}}\end{array}\]

\[\begin{array}{c}{v^2} - {u^2} = 2gd\\{\left( { - 4.645} \right)^2} - {\left( {5.42} \right)^2} = 2\left( { - 2.87 \times 1{0^3}} \right)\left( d \right)\\ - 5.74 \times 1{0^3}d = - 7.8\\d = \frac{{7.8}}{{5.74 \times 1{0^3}}}\end{array}\]

\[d = 1.35 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}\,\]

Hence the ball is compressed for\[1.35 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}\,m\].

  1. final velocity of the ball when before it just strikes the ground is \[5.42 m/s\]
  2. The velocity after the ball just leaves the ground surface is -\[4.645 m/s\]
  3. Acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.5 ms is\[ - 2.87 x1{0^3}m/{s^2}\]
  4. The ball is compressed for\[1.35x 1{0^{ - 3}}meter\].

Most popular questions from this chapter

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s2 and in multiples of g (\({\bf{9}}{\bf{.80}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\))?

In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot’s speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of3.0m.

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed ofin onlyconsiderably less time than given in Example 2.10 and Example 2.11.

(a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster.

(b) Find the final velocity of this dragster starting from rest and accelerating at the rate found in (a) for 402 m(a quarter mile) without using any information on time.

(c) Why is the final velocity greater than that used to find the average acceleration?

Hint: Consider whether the assumption of constant acceleration is valid for a dragster. If not, discuss whether the acceleration would be greater at the beginning or end of the run and what effect that would have on the final velocity.

Find the following for path A in Figure 2.59:

(a) The distance travelled.

(b) The magnitude of the displacement from start to finish.

(c) The displacement from start to finish.

(a) Explain how you can determine the acceleration over time from a velocity versus time graph such as the one in Figure 2.56.

(b) Based on the graph, how does acceleration change over time?
