What is the equation to find the bouncing height of a cylindrical tube when the flat surface is falling on the floor under Earth's gravity? I know the mass, drop height and material properties of the cylindrical tube.
Considering it as a concrete floor.256bits said:And the floor properties too.
Do you know the rotation rate and impact angle?Tech Guy said:What is the equation to find the bouncing height of a cylindrical tube when the flat surface is falling on the floor under Earth's gravity? I know the mass, drop height and material properties of the cylindrical tube.
I did not understand. It would be great if you can explain.256bits said:Have you tried a simple spring -mass analysis to begin with, and then work your way up to the variable compression of the tube ( the part hitting the ground compresses the most )
Of course we don't know the energy loss.
It would be something like
Ep = Ek at impact = Ek at rebound + Elosses
The equation for calculating the bouncing height of a cylindrical tube is h = (1/2)mv^2/mg, where h is the bouncing height, m is the mass of the tube, v is the velocity at impact, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The mass of the cylindrical tube directly affects its bouncing height. The heavier the tube, the lower the bouncing height will be. This is because the heavier mass requires more energy to be lifted, resulting in a lower bouncing height.
The impact velocity is the speed at which the cylindrical tube hits the ground. It directly affects the bouncing height, as the higher the impact velocity, the higher the bouncing height will be. This is because the tube will have more energy to be propelled upwards.
The surface on which the cylindrical tube bounces can greatly impact its bouncing height. A harder surface, such as concrete, will result in a higher bouncing height compared to a softer surface, such as grass. This is because the harder surface will provide more rebound force to the tube.
Yes, the properties of the cylindrical tube can also affect its bouncing height. A tube made of a more elastic material, such as rubber, will have a higher bouncing height compared to a tube made of a less elastic material. Additionally, a tube with a more cylindrical shape will have a higher bouncing height compared to a tube with a flatter shape.
