Question

A 45 g ball is dropped from rest from a height of 2.4 m. It bounces off the floor and rebounds to a maximum height of 1.9 m. If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.034 s, what is the magnitude (in N) and direction of the average force exerted on the ball by the floor during the collision? A 45 g ball is dropped from rest from a height of 2.4 m. It bounces off the floor and rebounds to a maximum height of 1.9 m. If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.034 s, what is the magnitude (in N) and direction of the average force exerted on the ball by the floor during the collision?

Explanation / Answer

From V2=Vo2+2gh

WHen it reaches ground

V1=sqrt[2*9.81*2.4]

V1=6.862 m/s

When it rebound to maximum height

V2=sqr[2*9.81*1.9]

V2=6.106 m/s

Impulse

I= m(V2-(-V1))=0.045(6.106-(-6.862))

I=0.58354 Kg-m/s

the average force exerted on the ball by the floor during the collision is

F=0.58354/0.034

F=17.163 N
