A tennis ball has a mass of 0.057kg.A professional tennis player hits the ball hard enough to give it a speed of 50 m/s (about 120 mi/h). The ball hits a wall and bounces back with almost the same speed (50m/s). As indicated in Figure 2.55 , high-speed photography shows that the ball is crushed 2 cm (0.02 m) at the instant when its speed is moment0arily zero, before rebounding.

Making the very rough approximation that the large force that the wall exerts on the ball is approximately constant during contact, determine the approximate magnitude of this force. Hint: Think about the approximate amount of time it takes for the ball to come momentarily to rest. (For comparison note that the gravitational force on the ball is quite small, only about (0.057 kg) (9.8 N/kg) 0.6 N. A force of5N is approximately the same as a force of one pound.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force on the tennis ball is 3562.5kgm/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Given that the mass m of the tennis ball is 0.057kg, the initial speed u is 50m/s, the final speed v is 50m/s in the opposite direction of initial speed and the distance ball is crushed d is 0.02m.

02

Definition of force

The change in momentum of a system over the time is equals to the net external force. The difference between the final and starting values of momentum is the change in momentum.

The net force is given by

F=ptHere pis the change in momentum whereastis the time interval.

03

The Evaluation of momentum, force, average time and average speed

The mass mof the tennis ball is 0.057kg, the initial speed u is 50 m/s, the final speed v is 50 m/s in the opposite direction of initial speed and the distance ball is crushed d is 0.02m.

The equation for the change in momentum,

P=mv-u ........................(1)

Here, P is the change in the momentum, m is the mass of the ball, u is the initial speed and vis the final speed.

Write equation for the average speed during crush

v'=v-v12 ...........................(2)

Here, v is the average speed during crush, v is the final speed of the tennis ball and v1 is the speed of ball at moment of hit which is zero.

Write the equation for the time taken by the ball to stop

t=dv' ........................(3)

Here, t is the time taken by the ball to crush, dis the distance tennis ball has crushed and v' is the average speed during crush.

Write the equation for the force on the tennis ball by the wall

F=P2t ................................(4)

Here, F is the force on the tennis ball due to the wall, P is the change in the momentum and t is the time taken by the ball to crush.

04

The substitute for momentum, force, average time and average

Substitute 50 m/s for v and 0 for v1 in equation (3)

localid="1668503594971" v'=502m/s=25m/s

Substitute 0.02 m for dand 25 m/s for v'in equation (3)

t=0.02m25m/s=0.0008s

Substitute 50m/s for v,-50m/s for uand 0.057kg for m in equation (1)

P=0.05750--50kgm/s=5.7kgm/s

Substitute 5.7kgm/s for P and 0.0008sfor tin equation (4)

F=5.7kgm/s20.000ss=3562.5kgm/s2

Therefore, the force on the tennis ball is 3562.5kg,m/s2.

A space station has the form of a hoop of radius R=14m, with mass M=6250 kg(Figure 11.91). Initially its center of mass is not moving, but it is spinning with angular speed 0=0.0013rad/sThen a small package of mass m=6kgis thrown by a spring-loaded gun toward a nearby spacecraft as shown; the package has a speedv=40m/s after launch. Calculate the center-of-mass velocity of the space station and its rational speed after the launch.

A ball is kicked on Earth from a location<9,0,-5> (on the ground) with initial velocity role="math" localid="1656668041027" <-10,13,-5>m/s . Neglecting air resistance: (a) What is the velocity of the ball 0.6 s after being kicked? (b) What is the location of the ball 0.6 s after being kicked? (c) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2500kgtraveling at 24m/ssmashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The front end crumples so much that the truck is 0.72mshorter than before,

(a) What is the average speed of the truck during the collision (that is, during the interval between first contact with the wall and coming to a stop)?

(b) About how long does the collision last? (That is, how long is the interval between first contact with the wall and coming to a stop?)

(c) What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the wall on the truck during the collision?

(d) It is interesting to compare this force to the weight of the tuck. Calculate the ratio of the force of the wall to the gravitational forceon the truck. This large ratio shows why a collision is so damaging.

(e) What approximations did you make in your analysis?

A simplified model of a hydrogen atom is that the electron cloud is a sphere of radius Rwith uniform charge density and total chargee. (The actual charge density in the ground state is nonuniform.) See Figure 15.74.

a) For the uniform-density model, calculate the polarizability of atomic hydrogen in terms of R. Consider the case where the magnitude Eof the applied electric field is much smaller than the electric field required to ionize the atom. Suggestions for your analysis: Imagine that the hydrogen atom is inside a capacitor whose uniform field polarizes but does not accelerate the atom. Consider forces on the proton in the equilibrium situation, where the proton is displaced a distance from the center of the electron cloud ( s<<Rin the diagram). (b) For a hydrogen atom, Rcan be taken as roughly 110-10m(the Bohr model of the H atom gives R=0.510-10m). Calculate a numerical value for the polarizability of atomic hydrogen. For comparison, the measured polarizability of a hydrogen atom is =7.410-41Cm(N/m); see the note below. (c) If the magnitude Eof the applied electric field is 1106N/m,use the measured value of to calculate the shift shown in Figure 15.74. (d) For some purposes it is useful to model an atom as though the nucleus and electron cloud were connected by a spring. Use the measured value of to calculate the effective spring stiffness ksfor atomic hydrogen. For comparison, measurements of Young鈥檚 modulus show that the effective spring stiffness of the interatomic force in solid aluminum is about 16N/m. (e) If 伪 were twice as large, what would ksbe?

Note: Quantum-mechanical calculations agree with the experimental measurement of 伪 reported in T. M. Miller and B. Bederson, 鈥淎tomic and molecular polarizabilities: a review of recent advances,鈥 Advances in Atomic and Molecular Physics 13, 1鈥55, 1977. They use cgs units, so their value is 1/(4蟺蔚0 ) greater than the value given here.

Here are questions about human diet. (a) A typical candy bar provides 280 calories (one 鈥渇ood鈥 or 鈥渓arge鈥 calorie is equal to ). How many candy bars would you have to eat to replace the chemical energy you expend doing 100 sit-ups? Explain your work, including any approximations or assumptions you make. (In a sit-up, you go from lying on your back to sitting up.) (b) How many days of a diet of 2000 large calories are equivalent to the gravitational energy difference for you between sea level and the top of Mount Everest, 8848 m above sea level? (However, the body is not anywhere near 100% efficient in converting chemical energy into change in altitude. Also note that this is in addition to your basal metabolism.)
