A soccer ball rolls out of a gym through the center of a doorway into the next room. The adjacent room is \(6.00 \mathrm{~m}\) by \(6.00 \mathrm{~m}\) with the \(2.00-\mathrm{m}\) wide doorway located at the center of the wall. The ball hits the center of a side wall at \(45.0^{\circ} .\) If the coefficient of restitution for the soccer ball is \(0.700,\) does the ball bounce back out of the room? (Note that the ball rolls without slipping, so no energy is lost to the floor.)

Short Answer

Answer: No, the ball does not bounce back out of the room.

Step by step solution

01

Find the initial speed of the ball

First, let's find the time it takes for the ball to travel from the doorway to the center of the room, which is half of the room's width, i.e., 3 meters. Then, we will calculate the initial speed. Let's use the formula: d = (1/2)at^2 Considering d = 3m and a = g*cos(45), where g = 9.81m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity), we can find the time, t. 3 = (1/2)(9.81*cos(45))t^2 By solving this equation, we get: t = 0.7744 s Now, let's find the initial speed (v) of the ball using the formula: v = at v = (9.81*cos(45))*0.7744 v = 5.38 m/s
02

Calculate the final speed of the ball

Now, we need to find the final speed of the ball after bouncing off the wall. The coefficient of restitution (e) is given as 0.700, and the relation for the final speed (vf) is: vf = ev vf = 0.700*(5.38) vf = 3.77 m/s
03

Calculate the angle of the bounce

Since the ball hits the wall at a 45-degree angle and maintains this angle during the bounce, the angle at which the ball bounces off the wall will also be \(45.0^{\circ}\).
04

Determine the distance traveled after the bounce

Now, we need to determine the distance traveled by the ball after bouncing off the wall and the time it takes to do so. Let's use the following expression to find the time (t_bounce) taken after the bounce: t_bounce = 2*(vf*sin(45))/g t_bounce = 2*(3.77*sin(45))/9.81 t_bounce = 0.5366 s Next, we need to find the horizontal distance (d_bounce) traveled by the ball in this time: d_bounce = vf*cos(45)*t_bounce d_bounce = 3.77*cos(45)*0.5366 d_bounce = 1.81 m Since the doorway is 2 meters wide and located in the center of the 6-meter wall, the room's center lies 1 meter away from the edge of the doorway. Therefore, since the ball travels a horizontal distance of 1.81 meters after bouncing, it does not reach the doorway and doesn't bounce back out of the room.

An 83.0 -kg running back leaps straight ahead toward the end zone with a speed of \(6.50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). A 115 -kg linebacker, keeping his feet on the ground, catches the running back and applies a force of \(900 . \mathrm{N}\) in the opposite direction for 0.750 s before the running back's feet touch the ground. a) What is the impulse that the linebacker imparts to the running back? b) What change in the running back's momentum does the impulse produce? c) What is the running back's momentum when his feet touch the ground? d) If the linebacker keeps applying the same force after the running back's feet have touched the ground, is this still the only force acting to change the running back's momentum?

How fast would a \(5.00-\mathrm{g}\) fly have to be traveling to slow a \(1900 .-\mathrm{kg}\) car traveling at \(55.0 \mathrm{mph}\) by \(5.00 \mathrm{mph}\) if the fly hit the car in a totally inelastic head-on collision?

Cosmic rays from space that strike Earth contain some charged particles with energies billions of times higher than any that can be produced in the biggest accelerator. One model that was proposed to account for these particles is shown schematically in the figure. Two very strong sources of magnetic fields move toward each other and repeatedly reflect the charged particles trapped between them. (These magnetic field sources can be approximated as infinitely heavy walls from which charged particles get reflected elastically.) The high- energy particles that strike the Earth would have been reflected a large number of times to attain the observed energies. An analogous case with only a few reflections demonstrates this effect. Suppose a particle has an initial velocity of \(-2.21 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\) (moving in the negative \(x\) -direction, to the left), the left wall moves with a velocity of \(1.01 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\) to the right, and the right wall moves with a velocity of \(2.51 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\) to the left. What is the velocity of the particle after six collisions with the left wall and five collisions with the right wall?

Moessbauer spectroscopy is a technique for studying molecules by looking at a particular atom within them. For example, Moessbauer measurements of iron (Fe) inside hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood, can be used to determine the hemoglobin's flexibility. The technique starts with X-rays emitted from the nuclei of \({ }^{57}\) Co atoms. These X-rays are then used to study the Fe in the hemoglobin. The energy and momentum of each X-ray are \(14 \mathrm{keV}\) and \(14 \mathrm{keV} / \mathrm{c}\) (see Example 7.5 for an explanation of the units). \(\mathrm{A}^{57}\) Co nucleus recoils as an \(\mathrm{X}\) -ray is emitted. A single \({ }^{57}\) Co nucleus has a mass of \(9.52 \cdot 10^{-26} \mathrm{~kg} .\) What are the final momentum and kinetic energy of the \({ }^{57}\) Co nucleus? How do these compare to the values for the X-ray?

To determine the muzzle velocity of a bullet fired from a rifle, you shoot the \(2.00-\mathrm{g}\) bullet into a \(2.00-\mathrm{kg}\) wooden block. The block is suspended by wires from the ceiling and is initially at rest. After the bullet is embedded in the block, the block swings up to a maximum height of \(0.500 \mathrm{~cm}\) above its initial position. What is the velocity of the bullet on leaving the gun's barrel?
