A rubber ball bounces. We’d like to understand how the ball bounces. a. A rubber ball has been dropped and is bouncing off the floor. Draw a motion diagram of the ball during the brief time interval that it is in contact with the floor. Show 4 or 5 frames as the ball compresses, then another 4 or 5 frames as it expands. What is the direction of a u during each of these parts of the motion? b. Draw a picture of the ball in contact with the floor and identify all forces acting on the ball. c. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during its contact with the ground. Is there a net force acting on the ball? If so, in which direction? d. Write a paragraph in which you describe what you learned from parts a to c and in which you answer the question: How does a ball bounce?
A compressed spring is pushing a block across a rough horizontal table. How many force vectors would be shown on a free-body diagram? Name them.
You toss a ball straight up in the air. Immediately after you let go of it, what force or forces are acting on the ball? For each force you name,
(a) state whether it is a contact force or a long-range force and
(b) identify the agent of the force.
Two rubber bands cause an object to accelerate with acceleration
a. How many rubber bands are needed to cause an object with
half the mass to accelerate three times as quickly?
Problems 44 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.
