A ball is dropped from a height of 90 m on a floor. At each collision with the floor, the ball loses one tenth of its speed. Plot the speed-time graph of its motion between t = 0 to 12 s.
Solution:
Taking vertical downward motion of ball from a height 90 m, wehave Rebound velocity of ball, Time to reach the highest point is, Total time
The ball will take further 3.81 s to fall back to floor, where its velocity before striking the floor .Velocity of ball after striking the floorTotal time elapsed before upwardmotion of ball Thus the speed-time graph of thismotion will be as shown in figure.
