A tennis ball of mass m is dropped from rest at point A, covering a height H, above a frictionless inclined plane at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontal as shown below. The moment the ball hits the inclined plane, it bounces horizontally at point B with the same speed with which it struck the plane and strikes the plane again at point C. In terms of g and H, determine the following quantities: B. The time the ball is in flight between points B and
Rigid Body
A rigid body is an object which does not change its shape or undergo any significant deformation due to an external force or movement. Mathematically speaking, the distance between any two points inside the body doesn't change in any situation.
Rigid Body Dynamics
Rigid bodies are defined as inelastic shapes with negligible deformation, giving them an unchanging center of mass. It is also generally assumed that the mass of a rigid body is uniformly distributed. This property of rigid bodies comes in handy when we deal with concepts like momentum, angular momentum, force and torque. The study of these properties – viz., force, torque, momentum, and angular momentum – of a rigid body, is collectively known as rigid body dynamics (RBD).
