Testing Tennis Balls
Tennis balls are tested by being dropped from a height of 2.5 m onto a concrete floor. The 57 g ball hits the ground, compresses, then rebounds. A ball will be accepted for play if it rebounds to a height of about 1.4 m; it will be rejected if the bounce height is much more or much less than this.
Suppose a ball is dropped from 2.5 m and rebounds to 1.4 m.
a. How fast is the ball moving just before it hits the floor?
b. What is the ball's speed just after leaving the floor?
c. What happens to the “lost” energy?
d. If the time of the collision with the floor is 6.0 ms, what is the average force on the ball during the impact?

- An open box slides across a frictionless, icy surface of a frozen lake. What happens to the speed of the box as water from a rain shower falls vertically downward into the box? Explain.arrow_forwardA suspicious physics student watches a stunt performed at an ice show. In the stunt, a performer shoots an arrow into a bale of hay (Fig. P11.24). Another performer rides on the bale of hay like a cowboy. After the arrow enters the bale, the balearrow system slides roughly 5 m along the ice. Estimate the initial speed of the arrow. Is there a trick to this stunt? FIGURE P11.24arrow_forwardExample questions Sad ball Наpрy ball 1. Students are given two spherical balls made of different materials, but of identical mass and diameter to experiment with. Each ball is dropped from an initial height, ho. The "sad ball" comes to rest without visibly bouncing when it strikes the tabletop. The "happy ball" bounces up to a final height h, where h < ho- A fellow student wants to use one of the balls in a carnival game where cups are knocked over by a thrown ball. Which ball should they use, happy or sad? In a clear, coherent, paragraph-length response that may also contain figures and/or equations, explain what physics principles explain why the happy ball bounces higher off of the tabletop and explain which ball makes the better choice as a projectile in the carnival game.
