JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 29th January Morning Shift - No. 25)

A tennis ball is dropped on to the floor from a height of 9.8 m. It rebounds to a height 5.0 m. Ball comes in contact with the floor for 0.2s. The average acceleration during contact is ___________ ms$$^{-2}$$.

(Given g = 10 ms$$^{-2}$$)

Answer
120

Explanation

The speed of ball just before collision with ground is

$u=\sqrt{2 \times g H}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 9.8}=\underset{\text { (Downwards) }}{14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}}$

The speed of ball just after collision is

$v=\sqrt{2 g h}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 5}=\underset{\text { (Upwards) }}{10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}}$

So, $\vec{a}=\frac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t}$

$=\frac{10+14}{0.2}=120 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
