Challenge a i Vertical component of motion is not changed by collision with wall. Therefore time taken for ball to reach floor for the first time is time taken for ball to fall m from rest. s= ut+ at = 9.8 t t= = 0.4575... 4.9 Horizontal component of motion is 0 m s before collides with wall and 0.6 0 = m s after collision. So time taken to reach wall: s.4 t = = = 0. s 0 So time for which ball traelling at m s is t = 0.4575 0. = 0.33 75 Distance traelled in this time = t = 0.3375 = 3.98 m (3 s.f.) The ball first bounces on the floor 3.98 m from the wall. ii Vertical component of speed immediately before it hits the floor: =u + as = 9.8 = 9.6 Vertical component of speed immediately after it hits the floor = 0.6 9.6 Maximum height gien when ertical component is again zero, so: =u + as 0=(0.6 9.6) ( 9.8 s) s=0.6 = 0.36m The maximum height after this bounce is 0.36 m. b If the ball is hotter and e increases, the horizontal speed after hitting the wall will be greater and the ball will therefore trael further before hitting the floor. Similarly, the ertical component of the speed immediately after it hits the floor will be greater and the maximum height after the first bounce will also be greater. Pearson Education Ltd 08.
