Question: You drop a ball ( mass m = 0 . 8 3 1 kg ) from a height of h 1 = 3 . 9

You drop a ball (mass m =0.831 kg) from a height of h1=3.982 meters and observe that it bounces back straight vertically up (after striking the ground) and reaches a maximum height of h2=2.367 m. You may ignore the effects of air-resistance. You also notice that the ball remains in contact with the ground for a time of t =2.317 seconds during the collision. Part (a) Select the most appropriate option to this question: What kind of collision is this? It is an inelastic collision Correct! - Part (b) If you consider the "system" as JUST the ball (i.e. you exclude the surface it is striking as part of the system), then which of the following about the BALL is conserved between the moments just before and just after the collision? Neither the ball's Kinetic Energy nor its momentum are conserved Correct! - Part (c) Calculate the average net force Fave (in Newtons) experienced by the ball during the collision? [Enter your answer in Newtons] Fave =5.610 Correct! Part (d) What is the magnitude of the average force (in Newtons) exerted BY the ball ON the ground? [It is asking about magnitude. So, enter positive value ONLY]
