Chapter 1, Problem 1.29P
As described in a preceding problem, the coefficient of restitution of a volleyball, Cr = \JhJH, is determined for a range of impact velocities. The impact velocity is v, = y/2gH and is controlled by the dropping the ball from a known height H. Let the velocity immediately after impact be Vf = yj2 gh where h is the measured return height.
List the independent and dependent variables, parameters, and measured variables.

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coeffi cient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the
inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the
coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow:
Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871
Club 2: 0.8305, 0.7905, 0.8352, 0.8380, 0.8145, 0.8465, 0.8244, 0.8014, 0.8309, 0.8405, 0.8256, 0.8476

- 6. A ball is thrown straight up in the air at time t = 0. Its height y(t) is given by y(t) = vot - 791² (1) Calculate: (a) The time at which the ball hits the ground. First, make an estimate using a scaling analysis (the inputs are g and vo and the output is the time of landing. Think about their units and how you might construct the output using the inputs, just by matching units). Solve the problem exactly. Verify that the scaling analysis gives you (almost) the correct answer. (b) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/(4g). Use the quadratic formula. (c) The times at which the ball reaches the height v/(2g). You should find that both solutions are identical. What does this indicate physically?
