Investigators studying the effect of hitting a soccer ball with the head are using a force plate to look at the forces in ball collisions; the force when the ball hits a player's head will be similar. A 0.43 kg ball is launched at a force plate at 16 m/s. Smoothed data for the force versus time for the collision are shown in (Figure 1).

Respuesta :

The integral of the function of the force applied to the time of application

of the force gives the impulse of the force.

The speed with which the ball rebounds from the plate is approximately

34.23 m/s.

Reasons:

Force = Rate of change of momentum

F × t = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Where;

Speed of the ball, v₁ = 16 m/s

v₂ = The speed with which the ball rebounds from the plate

The impulse, I, of the force is given by the area under the curve.

The height of the triangular curve, h = 2,500 N

The base length of the triangular curve = 7 ms.

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × Base length × Height

Therefore, we have;

[tex]Area \ under \ the \ curve, \, I = \dfrac{0.007 \times 2500}{2} = 8.75[/tex]

8.75 = 0.48 × (v₂ - 16)

v₂ ≈ 34.23 m/s

Therefore, the speed with which the ball rebounds, v₂ ≈ 34.23 m/s.
