A 5 kg sphere is dropped from a height y = 2 m to test newly designed
Question:
A 5 kg sphere is dropped from a height y = 2 m to test newly designed spring floors used in gymnastics. The mass of the floor section is 10 kg, and the effective stiffness of the floor is k = 120kN/m. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the platform is 0.6,
Determine
(a) The height h reached by the sphere after rebound,
(b) The maximum force in the springs.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
