Question

A ball is dropped from a certain height onto the floor and bouncing.is the motion of the ball simple harmonic?explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Again when it hits the ground it moves upward resulting in increased in potential energy and decrease in kinetic energy. After that it again falls down resulting in increased in in kinetic energy and decrease in potential energy. This occurs simultaneously and hence the motion is in simple harmonic motion.
