Homework Statement


[/B]
Ball with a mass of 0.1 kg travels at a speed of 10 m /s to the boy.
Boy kicks the ball with foot so that it bounces back at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal floor. The ball falls back to the ground 20 meters from the boy.
With what average force and under what angle with respect to the horizontal floor did boy kick the ball if the collision took 0.1 second?

Known data:
m = 0.1 kg
v0 = 10 m/s
β = 30°
Range = 20 m
Δt = 0.1 s

F = ?
α = ?

Homework Equations


p = m*v
FΔt = mΔv = Δp
Range = (v1^2*sin(2α))/g

The Attempt at a Solution


p0= m*v0
F =mΔv/Δt
Δv = v1(-x) - v0(x) ⇒ v1 + v0
v1=√(Range*g/(sin(2α))
tanβ = (v1y)/(v1x) ?
v1= √((v1x^2)+(v1y^2))

I cannot do anything with angle of refraction because i don't know velocity1(x) and velocity1(y) pls help, thank you.

What's you plan to solve this problem?

What are you going to calculate first?
 
  • #3
Probably i need to solve for α first. But because velocity 1 changes both x and y components because of average force i don't find a solution.

You are given ##\alpha = 30°##.
 
  • #5
No α ≠ 30°, β = 30°

Okay. ##\alpha = 0, \beta = 30°##. It has to be, surely?

Otherwise, you could still solve the problem for a general angle ##\alpha##.
 
  • #7
No α ≠ 0, but we are searching for α.
α= ?

α= ?

You are trying to find the angle that the force was applied. You need to do a vector diagram for force/momentum.

Note that the angle of the force is not necessarily the angle of the trajectory.

Please define all your variables.
AncientOne99 said:
v1=√(Range*g/(sin(2α))
According to that equation you are defining α as the angle the ball makes to the horizontal just after being kicked. That is the given angle of 30°. The unknown angle is that of the applied impulse.

The question does not give the flight angle of the ball before it is kicked. You will have to assume it is zero (say) or there is not enough information.
 
  • #10
m = 0.1 kg
v0 = 10 m/s (x) direction
Refractive angle of ball = 30 ° (horizontal)
That's the angle of impact.
Range of ball = 20 m
time of impulse = 0.1 s

We are searching for:
1. Angle when the ball was kicked with respect to horizontal.
2. Average force of change in momentum.

Solution for problem:
Angle = 18 °
Average force = 24.2 N

I saw some trigonometric identity for this problem but i don't understand it geometrically, any idea?

No it isn't. It is the angle at which the ball rises just after being kicked:
AncientOne99 said:
it bounces back at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal floor
The angle at which the impulse was applied to the ball is to be found.

AncientOne99 said:
Angle when the ball was kicked with respect to horizontal.
It is unclear what that means. Angle of what when the ball was kicked?
 
  • #14
With what average force and under what angle with respect to the horizontal floor did boy kick the ball if the collision took 0.1 second?

AncientOne99 said:

Quite.
The ball is initially moving (horizontally at ground level, you will need to assume) at u=10m/s.
The boy's kick is an impulse of magnitude p at an angle to be determined (please say whether you want to call this α or β). The ball then rises at speed v and at an angle of θ=30 degrees to the horizontal and lands s=20m away.
From s and θ you can find v.

My recommendation is always to keep everything symbolic, only plugging in numbers at the end. There are numerous benefits.

Solution is incorrect for angle and force then

Please show your working and explain how you know it to be incorrect.
 
  • #18
Yes, of course I am solving it analitically.
 
  • #19
Ok, i will send you my thinking for this example.
 
  • #20
Right, alfa is 30 degrees, i will just check if its right now
 
  • #21
So we are searching horizontal angle of the FORCE
 
  • #22
AncientOne99 said:

This is very confusing. What are you meaning by alpha there? I asked you to decide whether to call the angle of the applied impulse alpha or beta. I used theta for the 30 degree angle the ball flies up at.

AncientOne99 said:

Yes.
 
  • #24
Ok, solved. Thank you very much for assistance. Mark
 

What is average force?

Average force is the force that is exerted over a period of time. It is calculated by dividing the total force by the total time it was exerted.

What is the angle in a collision problem?

The angle in a collision problem refers to the direction of the force acting on an object. It is typically measured in degrees or radians.

How do I calculate the average force in a collision problem?

To calculate the average force in a collision problem, you need to know the initial and final velocities of the objects involved, as well as the time of the collision. You can use the formula F = (m * (v2-v1))/t, where F is the average force, m is the mass of the object, v1 is the initial velocity, v2 is the final velocity, and t is the time of the collision.

What is the relationship between force and angle in a collision problem?

The force and angle in a collision problem are directly related. The angle of the force can affect the magnitude and direction of the average force in a collision. For example, a force applied at a 90 degree angle will have a greater effect than the same force applied at a smaller angle.

What factors can affect the average force and angle in a collision problem?

The average force and angle in a collision problem can be affected by various factors such as the mass and velocity of the objects involved, the angle at which the force is applied, and any external forces acting on the objects. The type of collision (elastic or inelastic) also plays a role in determining the average force and angle.
