Tennis Ball Testing
A tennis ball bouncing on a hard surface compresses and then rebounds. The details of the rebound are specified in tennis regulations. Tennis balls, to be acceptable for tournament play, must have a mass of 57.5 g. When dropped from a height of 2.5 m onto a concrete surface, a ball must rebound to a height of 1.4 m. During impact, the ball compresses by approximately 6 mm.
81. How fast is the ball moving when it hits the concrete surface? (Ignore air resistance.)
A. 5 m/s
B. 7 m/s
C. 25 m/s
D. 50 m/s

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?

You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam?

- A ball is suspended by a string that is tied to a fixed point above a wooden block standing on end. The ball is pulled back as shown in Figure OQ8.14 and released. In trial A, the ball rebounds elastically from the block. In trial B, two-sided tape causes the ball to stick to the block. In which case is the ball more likely to knock the block over? (a) It is more likely in trial A. (b) It is more likely in trial B. (c) It makes no difference. (d) It could be either case, depending on other factors. Figure OQ8.14arrow_forwardTwo identical steel balls, each of diameter 25.4 nun and moving in opposite directions at 5 m/s, run into each other head-on and bounce apart. Prior to the collision, one of the balls is squeezed in a vise while precise measurements are made of the resulting amount of compression. The results show that Hookes law is a fair model of the balls elastic behavior. For one datum, a force of 16 kN exerted by each jaw of the vise results in a 0.2-mm reduction in the diameter. The diameter returns to its original value when the force is removed, (a) Modeling the ball as a spring, find its spring constant. (b) Does the interaction of the balls during the collision last only for an instant or for a nonzero time interval? State your evidence, (c) Compute an estimate for the kinetic energy of each of the balls before they collide, (d) Compute an estimate for the maximum amount of compression each ball undergoes when the balls collide, (e) Compute an order-of-magnitude estimate for the time interval for which the balls are in contact. (In Chapter 15, you will learn to calculate the contact time interval precisely.)arrow_forwardA pitcher claims he can throw a 0.145-kg baseball with as much momentum as a 3.00-kg bullet moving with a speed of 1.50 103 m/s (a) What must the baseballs speed be if the pitchers claim is valid?

The collision lasts 0.0150 s. (a) Calculate the average force exerted on the ball by the bumper. (b) How much kinetic energy in joules is lost during the collision? (c) What percent of the original energy is left?arrow_forwardAs it plows a parking lot, a snowplow pushes an ever-growing pile of snow in front of it. Suppose a car moving through the air is similarly modeled as a cylinder of area A pushing a growing disk of air in front of it. The originally stationary air is set into motion at the constant speed v of the cylinder as shown in Figure P8.32. In a time interval t, a new disk of air of mass m must be moved a distance v t and hence must be given a kinetic energy 12(m)v2. Using this model, show that the cars power loss owing to air resistance is 12Av3 and that the resistive force acting on the car is 12Av2, where is the density of air. Compare this result with the empirical expression 12DAv2 for the resistive force. Figure P8.32arrow_forward
