Chapter 11: Q. 42 (page 289)

A 200gball is dropped from a height of 2.0m, bounces on a hard floor, and rebounds to a height of 1.5m. FIGURE P11.41 shows the impulse received from the floor. What maximum force does the floor exert on the ball?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum force exerted on the ball is7.5×10-10Ns

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

We need to find how much maximum force does the floor exert on the ball.

02

Step 2. Calculation

To find the average force used to eject pollen grain we use newton's second law Faverage=ma=(1×10-10kg)×(2.5×104)m/s2=2.5×10-6N

The impulse can be find from average force acting on pollen grains

J=Faverage△t=(2.5×10-6N)×(0.3×10-3)s=7.5×10-10Ns

A 20 g ball of clay traveling east at 2.0 m/s collides with a 30 g ball of clay traveling 30° south of west at 1.0 m/s. What are the speed and direction of the resulting 50 g blob of clay?

Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of1.0×1013kghits the earth (6.0×1024kg)with an impact speed of 4.0×104m/s.

a. What is the earth’s recoil speed after such a collision? (Use a reference frame in which the earth was initially at rest.)

b. What percentage is this of the earth’s speed around the sun? The earth orbits the sun at a distance of1.5×1011m.

A 100 g ball moving to the right at 4.0 m/s collides head-on with a 200 g ball that is moving to the left at 3.0 m/s.

a. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what are the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?

b. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what are the speed and direction of the combined balls after the collision?

It feels better to catch a hard ball while wearing a padded glove than to catch it bare handed. Use the ideas of this chapter to explain why

A 20 g ball is fired horizontally with speed v0 toward a 100 g ball hanging motionless from a 1.0-m-long string. The balls undergo a head-on, perfectly elastic collision, after which the 100 g ball swings out to a maximum angle θmax=50°. What was v0?
