Question

PartC Constants Find Jy, the y component of the impulse imparted to the ball during the collision. Express your answer numerically, to two significant figures. As shown in the figure (Figure 1), a superball with mass m equal to 50 grams is dropped from a height of hi 1.5 m.It collides with a table, then bounces up to a height of h 1.0 m. The duration of the collision the time during which the superball is in contact with the table) is tc 15 ms. In this problem, take the positive y direction to be upward, and use g 9.8 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation / Answer

Taking y-upward as positive, the momentum just before collision is
p1 = m v = - m sqrt(2 g h0)
The momentum just after collision (needed to reach a height h) is
p2 = m sqrt(2 g h)

So the change in momentum is (which is the momentum imparted to the ball by the table)

Delta(p) = p2 - p1 = m (sqrt(2 g h0) + sqrt(2 g h) )

= 0.050 kg * ( sqrt( 2 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 1.5 m) + sqrt( 2 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 1.0 m) )
= 0.49 kg m/s

The time-averaged force is

F = Delta(p)/Delta(t) = 0.493 kg m/s / (0.015 s) = 33 N
