We want to find the coefficient of restitution e between the ball and the floor. We will be able to measure the time of
flight between subsequent bounces, but not the velocities before and after each impact.
Question 1
a. Using the kinematics equation for position, find a relationship
between the time of flight tn and the velocity of the ball after
the nth bounce. You should obtain a quadratic equation that
has two solutions for the time tm, but only one of them
represents the time of flight.
b. Using the kinematics equation for velocity and the relationship
determined in the previous step, find the relationship between
the velocity right after the nth bounce and the velocity right
before the (n +1)th bounce?
c. Given your answers to the previous parts of this question and
the definition of €, find the coefficient of restitution e in terms of
the subsequent times of flight tn and tr+1.
Spring Gun: Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start
that is 6.9 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away.
The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.07
g.
After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to
other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s.
What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° above
horizontal on Planet X?
(a) What maximum height would the projectile reach?
(b) How far would the projectile travel before it hit the ground?
Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
An object is shot straight upward from sea level with an initial velocity of 450 ft/sec.
d.Assuming that gravity is the only force acting on the object, give an upper estimate for.its velocity after 5 sec have elapsed. Use g= 32 ft/sec for the gravitational
acceleration.
b.Using At= 1 sec, find a lower estimate for the height attained after 5 sec.
%3D
a. The upper estimate for the velocity after 5 sec is ft/sec.
