Simple harmonic motion:
A ball dropped from a height of 4.00m makes an elastic collisionwith the ground in a vacuum chamber. a) What is the differencebetween the kinetic energy of the ball immediately before thecollision and the kinetic energy of the ball immediately after thecollision? b) Is the kinetic energy of the ball conserved in itssubsequent motion after the collision? c) What is the differencebetween the momentum of the ball immediately before the collisionand the momentum of the ball immediately after the collision? d) Isthe total momentum of the system conserved, and if so, what otherparts of the system must be included other than the ball? e)Identify an equilibrium point for the entire system. Explain whythe motion around this equilibrium point is periodic and determinethe period of the motion. f) Is the motion simple harmonic motion?Explain.
