Given info : A particle of mass 2 kg is dropped from a height 80 m and after striking ground, it rebound to a height of 5m. Time of contact = 0.4 sec.
To find : the average force exerted by ground on particle is ..
solution : velocity of particle before striking , v₁ =
here, the initial height of the particle, H = 80 m
acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²
so, v₁ = m/s
now velocity of the particle after striking, v₂ =
final height of the particle, h = 5m
so, v₁ = m/s
change in linear momentum = impulse
⇒ final linear momentum - initial linear momentum = F × t
⇒ m(v₂ - v₁) = F × t
⇒ 2 kg(10m/s - 40m/s) = F × 0.4 s
⇒ - 150 kg m/s² = -150 N = F
now the force exerted by the ground = - force exerted by the particle = -(-150) = 150N
therefore the force exerted by ground on the particle is 150 N.
