A ball is thrown vertically downwards from a height of 20 m with an initial velocity v_(0) It collides with the ground , loses 50 percent ofits energyin collision and reboundsto the same height .the initial velocity v_(0) is : (Take g = 10 ms^(-2))

Answer»

`10ms^(-1)`
`14 ms^(-1)`
`20ms^(-1)`
`28ms^(-1)`

Solution :Let ball rebounds with speed v so
` :. "In" v^(2) -v_(0)^(2) =2gh ,v_(0) = 0 `
` :. V= sqrt(2gh) =sqrt(2xx10xx20) = 20 m//s `
ENERGY just after rebound
`E =1/2 mv^(2) =1/2 m xx m xx (20)^(2)`
` = 1/2 m xx400`
= 200 m Joule
50 % energy LOSES in COLLISION means just before collisionenergyis 400 m
By using energy conservation
`1/2 mv_(0)^(2) +mgh = 400 m `
` :. v_(0)^(2) = 800 - 2gh`
` :. v_(0)^(2) = 800 - 400`
` :. v_(0)^(2) = 400 `
` :. v_(0) = 20 ms^(-1)`
