- A ball is launched upward from the ground at an initial vertical speed of v0 and begins bouncing vertically. Every time it rebounds, it loses a proportion of the magnitude of its velocity due to the inelastic nature of the collision, such that if the speed just before hitting the ground on a bounce is v, then the speed just after the bounce is rv, where r < 1 is a constant. Calculate the total length of time that the ball remains bouncing, assuming that any time associated with the actual contact of the ball with the ground is negligible.arrow_forwardAfter returning from the bend, a train driver with a speed of 97 km/h recognizes a car 61 m away from the train and moving with a constant speed of 48 km/h.
