A 0.3 kg tennis ball is dropped from rest at a height of 3.6 m onto a hard floor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) What is the speed of the ball at the instant of contact with the floor?
|v| = m/s *
sqrt( 2*9.81*3.6) OK
HELP: This is just a problem in one-dimensional kinematics with constant acceleration. What is the acceleration of the ball while it is in the air?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A flash photograph shows that the ball is compressed a maximum of 0.6 cm when it strikes the floor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) Assuming that the acceleration of the ball is constant during its contact with the floor, what force does the floor exert on the ball?
|f| = N
HELP: Again, this is a problem in one-dimensional kinematics with constant acceleration. What is the acceleration of the ball when it is in contact with the floor?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c) Over what time does the force act in bringing the ball to rest?
D t = s
Request some guidance as how to proceed with part b and c.
Thanks,
