Question

A ball of mass 2 kg dropped from a height H above a horizontal surface rebounds to a height h after one bounce. The graph that relates H to h is shown in figure. If the ball was dropped from an initial height of 81 m and made ten bounces, the kinetic energy of the ball immediately after the second impact with the surface was

Moderate
Solution

 

\large e\, = \,\sqrt {\frac{h}{H}\,\,} = \sqrt {\frac{{40}}{{90}}} \, = \,\frac{2}{3}
\large V = u{e^n}\;Here\;n = 2
\large = \,\frac{1}{2}(2)(2 \times 10 \times 81)\frac{{16}}{{81}} = 320J
