A spherical body of mass $100 \mathrm{~g}$ is dropped from a height of $10 \mathrm{~m}$ from the ground. After hitting the ground, the body rebounds to a height of $5 \mathrm{~m}$. The impulse of force imparted by the ground to the body is given by : (given, $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$)
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
\vec{I} & =\Delta \vec{P}=\vec{P}_f-\vec{P}_i \\
\mathrm{M} & =0.1 \mathrm{~kg} \\
I & =\Delta P=0.1(\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 5}-(-\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 10})) \\
& =0.1(14+7 \sqrt{2}) \approx 2.39 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{aligned}$$</p>
