A ball of mass kg is dropped from a height m, strikes the ground and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball is m/s nearly:
kg m/s
kg m/s
kg m/s
kg m/s
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the impulse imparted to the ball.Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object.Given:• Mass of the ball kg• Height from which the ball is dropped m• Acceleration due to gravity m/sFirst, calculate the velocity of the ball just before it strikes the ground.Using the kinematic equation:Since the ball is dropped, the initial velocity m/sThe velocity just before striking the ground is m/s downward.Since the ball rebounds to the same height, the velocity just after rebounding is also m/s upward.The change in velocity is: m/sThe change in momentum is given by: kg m/sApproximating we get: kg m/sTherefore, the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the ball is approximately kg m/s.This corresponds to Option 2.
