To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it into the floor from a height

of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2m. If the ball is in contact with the floor

for 12.0 ms, (a) What is the magnitude of its average acceleration during the

contact. (b) Is the average acceleration up or down?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Magnitude of the average acceleration when the ball is in contact with the floor is 1.26103m/s2

b) The average acceleration is upward.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The height from which the ball is dropped, y1=4m.

The height reached by the ball after hitting the floor, y2=2m.

Time for which the ball is in contact with the floor, t=12.0ms.

02

Understanding the concept

Average acceleration can be determined by using the kinematic equation of kinematic.

The average acceleration of the ball during the contact is,

aavg=v2-v1t

(i)

vf2=vi2+2ay

(ii)

Average acceleration=v2-v1t (iii)

03

(a) Determination of average acceleration of the ball

v1is the velocity when the ball is about to hit the ground.

v2is the velocity immediately after the ball has rebounded.

Using the third kinematic equation v1can be determined

Substituting the given values,

Vf2=vi2+2ayVi2=0+2-g-yi-0=29.84=78.4v1=8.854m/s2

Therefore, the velocity of the ball is -8.75m/s2. Value is taken negative due to

downward direction.

In this journey the final velocity is taken as zero. Substituting the values,

aavg=v2-v1t=6.26-8.85412ms=15.1141210-3=1.2559103m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration aavg=1.26103m/s2.

04

(b) Determination of direction of the average acceleration

The value of the acceleration is positive. The downward gravitational acceleration is taken as negative. It implies that the average acceleration is positive.

When a high-speed passenger train travelling at 161 km/hrounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D=676ahead (Fig.2-32). The locomotive is moving at 29 km/h. The engineer of the high speed train immediately applies the brakes. (a)What must be the magnitude of resulting constant deceleration if a collision is to be just avoided? (b)Assume that engineer is atx=0when, at t=0, he first spots the locomotive. Sketch x(t) curves for the locomotive and high speed train for the cases in which a collision is just avoided and is not quite avoided.

: Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane鈥檚 flight-data recorder, commonly called the 鈥渂lack box鈥 in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape. The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400gduring a time interval of 6.50ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
