A ball falls freely from a height of 180 m on to a hard horizontal floor and repectedly bounces . If the coefficient of restitution is 0.5 the average speed and aberage velocity of the ball before it ceases to rebound are respectively( acceleration due to gravity = 10 "ms"^(-2))

Answer»

`10 MS^(-1), 10 ms^(-1)`
`50 ms^(-1), (50)/(3) ms^(-1)`
`(50)/(3) ms^(-1), 10ms^(-1)`
`(20)/(3) ms^(-1), (50)/(3) ms^(-1)`

Solution :
When ball dropped from height h then time taken to reach the ground
`t_(0)sqrt((2h)/(g))` and speed `v_(0)= sqrt(2gh)`
After first COLLISION its speed will become
`v_(1)=ev_(0)=esqrt(2gh)`
where e= coefficient of restitution . Now the ball will go up and will take time `t_(1)` when it STOPS
`nu = mu + at `
`o= v_(1)-"gt"_(1)`
`t_(1)= (v_(1))/(g)`
It will coem down and take same time `t_(1)` before second collision.So time taken between first and second collision is `2t_(1)` .
Similarly time taken between second and third collision will be `2t_(3)= (2v_(2))/(g)`
Total time before it ceaser to REBOUND
`T= t_(0)+2t_(1)+2t_(2)+ .........`
` T = t_(0)+ (2v_(1))/(g)+ (2v_(2))/(g) + ..........`
`T= t_(0)+ (2ev_(0))/(g)+(2e^(2)v_(0))/(g)+...........`
{as`v_(2)=ev_(1)=e^(2)v_(0)}`
`T=sqrt((2h)/(g))[I+2e(1+e+e^(2)+e^(3)+cdots)]`
`{as v_(0)= sqrt(sqrt(2h)/(g))}`
It forms a GP,
`T=sqrt((2h)/(g))[1+2e((1)/(1-e))]`
`T=sqrt((2h)/(g))((1+e)/(1-e))`
T= `6xx3 = 18 s`
Calculation of distance in ENTIRE motion intitial height `h_(0)` = h After first collision = `h_(1) `
As ` e = (v)/(u)= =sqrt((2gh_(1))/(2gh_90))=sqrt(h_(1)/(h))`
`h_(1)=e^(2)h` similarly `h_(2)= e^(2)(e^(2)h)`
`h_(2)= e^(4)h`
Total distance ,
`H=h_(0)+2h_(1)+2h_(2)+ .........`
`H= h+2e^(2)h+2e^(4)h+ ............. `
`H = h[I+2e^(2)(1+e^(2)+e^(4)+ ...........)]`
` H =h [1+2e^(2)((1)/(1-e^(2)))]`
`H=h((1+e^(2))/(1-e^(2)))`
`H= 180 ((1+(1)/(4))/(1-(1)/(4)))e = 0.5 = (1)/(2)`
`H= 180 xx(5)/(3)`
H= 300 m
Average speed v = `("Total distance" )/("Time")`
`v=(300)/(18) = (50)/(3) `m/s
Average velocity `v = ("Total displacement")/("Time")`
`v=(180)/(18) = 10 ` m/s
