rce versus time during the collision of a 44- tennis ball with a wall. The initial velocity of the ball is 36 perpendicular to t
he wall; it rebounds with the same speed, also perpendicular to the wall. What is the maximum value of the contact force during the collision
1 answer:
Answer:
Maximum contact force = 487.4 N
Explanation:
The graph showing force vs time is attached to the solution of this question.
According to the an interpretation of Newton's second law of motion, the magmitude of the change in momentum is equal to the magnitude of the impulse experienced duting this impact.
F.t = Δ(momemtum)
Δ(momemtum) = 0.044 [36 - (-36)] = 0.044 × 72 = 3.168 kgm/s
Meaning, Impulse = 3.168 kgm/s too.
The area under the curve above is the impulse we just obtained.
If the maximum contact force is called F
The impulse = Area under this graph
= (1/2)(F)(4-0) + (F)(7-4) + (1/2)(F)(10-7)
= 2F + 3F + 1.5F = (6.5F) mN.s = (0.0065F) N.s
0.0065F = 3.168
F = (3.168/0.0065) = 487.4 N
Hope this Helps!!!

To find we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force
which gives
. We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using
where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.
