A ball is held at rest at some height above a hard, horizontal surface. Once the ball is released it falls, hits the surface, and starts bouncing vertically up and down. Suppose that with each bounce the ball loses a fixed fraction p (with 1>p>0) of its energy. This loss could be due to a number of reasons (inelasticity, drag, etc) that are left unspecified. How many times will the ball bounce before coming to rest (if at all)? Provide...

A steel ball with mass 40.0 g is dropped from a height of 2.00 m onto a horizontal steel slab. The ball rebounds to a height of 1.60 m. (a) Calculate the impulse delivered to the ball during impact, in N-m. Define upward as positive. (b) If the ball is in contact with the slab for 2.00 ms, find the average force on the ball during impact, in N. Define upward as positive.

A 0.6 kg ball is dropped from a height, h, of 2 meters (at point A). It hits the ground and bounces back up to a height of 1 meter (at point B) on its first bounce. (3 pts each) a. What is the total energy of the ball at A? b. What is the total energy of the ball at B? c. Why did the ball not bounce back up to its starting height?

A lead ball, with an initial temperature of 25 °C, is released from a height of 125.0 m. It does not bounce when it hits a hard surface. Assume all the energy of the fall goes into heating the lead. Find the temperature in °C of the ball after it hits. (You do not need to enter the units.) Data: clead = 128 [(J)/(kg·°C)].

A ball is thrown up onto a roof, landing 3.10 s later at height h = 18.0 m above the release level. The ball's path just before landing is angled at θ = 63.0˚ with the roof. (a) Find the horizontal distance d it travels. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if it is on a video.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's initial velocity?
