Question
Chapter 4, Problem 46A
To determine
To Explain: Whether a force is needed for the bounce of the basketball.
The agent of force that is involved in the bouncing of the ball.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 46A
Yes, a force is needed for the bounce of the basketball.
The floor acts as an agent of force that is involved in the bouncing of the ball.
Explanation of Solution
Consider a basketball player drops a ball on the floor. The ball moves downward with a particular velocity in the downward direction.
When the ball hits the floor, it bounces up with different velocity in the upward direction.
Hence, the direction of the velocity of the ball is changed resulting in the acquisition of certain acceleration by the ball.
The ball requires a force in order to attain this acceleration of the ball.
Thus, a force is needed for the bounce of the ball.
The ball bounces after hitting the hard surface of the floor.
Hence, the floor acts as an agent of force involved in the bouncing of the ball.
Conclusion:
Thus, a force is involved in the bouncing of the ball and the floor acts as an agent of force involved in the bouncing of the ball.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet.
