A rubber ball is released from a height of 5 m above the floor. It bounces back repeatedly, always rising to 81/100 of the height through which it falls. Find the average speed of the ball. (Take g = 10 ms⁻²)
A rubber ball is released from a height of 5 m above the floor. It bounces back repeatedly, always rising to 81/100 of the height through which it falls. Find the average speed of the ball. (Take g = 10 ms⁻²)
For a bouncing object with initial height h = 5m and coefficient of restitution e = 0.9 (so e² =0.81):
Total distance traveled, d = h + 2e²h + 2e? h + . = h * (1 + e²) / (1 - e²)
Total time taken, t = √* (2h/g)* + 2√* (2e²h/g)* + 2√* (2e? h/g)* + . = √* (2h/g)* * (1 + e) / (1 - e)
Average speed = d/t =
