QUESTION 3 (Start on a new page.)

A ball of mass 0,5 kg that is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1,5 m
rebounds vertically to a height of 1,40 m. Ignore the effects of friction.

1,5m
1,4m

_______________

Here the ball is considered as a projectile.

3.1 Explain the term projectile. (2)

3.2 Calculate the speed of the ball when it makes contact with the floor after
it has been dropped. (3)

3.3 Write down the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the ball while
moving upwards after it has bounced from the floor. (2)

3.4 Is the collision of the ball with the floor elastic or inelastic? (1)

3.5 Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the ball due to collision with the
floor. (4)

3.6 Draw a velocity-time graph for the motion of the ball from the moment it
is dropped till it reaches the maximum height of 1,4 m after it has bounced.

On the graph indicate the velocity with which the ball makes contact with the
floor. (3)
