    A ball is dropped on to the floor from a height of 20 m. It rebounds to a height of 10 m. If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.1 seconds, what is the average acceleration during contact?

    A) \[\text{142 m }{{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}\]                

    B) \[\text{285 m }{{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}\]    

    C)        \[\text{338 m }{{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}\]    

    D)        \[\text{564 m }{{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here height from which ball is dropped h = 20 m Using\[{{\text{v}}^{\text{2}}}\text{=}{{\text{u}}^{\text{2}}}\text{+2gh;}\]\[{{\text{v}}^{2}}=2gh(\because u=0)\] or \[v=\sqrt{2gh}\] (downward) Ball rebounds to a height, h' = 10 m So, \[{{0}^{2}}={{v}^{'2}}-2gh'\] or \[v'=\sqrt{2gh'}\] (upward) Acceleration of the ball, \[a=\frac{(v'-v)}{t}=\frac{[\sqrt{2gh'}-(-\sqrt{2gh})]}{t}\] Or \[a=\frac{[\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 10}+\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 20}]}{0.1}=338\text{ m }{{\text{s}}^{-2}}\]
