Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height h = 4.9 m onto a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic.

Question

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height h = 4.9 m onto a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic. Then the velocity as a function of time the height as function of time will be

TestHub · Accepted Answer

h = 2 1 ​ gt 2 , v = − gt and after the collision, v = gt . (parabolic) (straight line) Collision is perfectly elastic then ball reaches to same height again and again with same velocity.
