A tennis ball of mass 60 g is dropped from a height of 2.9 m. It rebounds but loses 23 % of its kinetic energy in the bounce. Ignoring any air resistance. Calculate the velocity at which it leaves the ground.

The velocity at which the ball leave the ground is 6.62 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of tennis ball, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

height at which the ball fell, h = 2.9 m

percentage of kinetic energy lost, = 23%

The potential energy of the tennis ball = mgh = 0.06 x 9.8 x 2.9

                                                                            = 1.7052 J

As the ball hits the ground, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy.

K.E = 1.7052 J

Kinetic energy lost = 0.23 x 1.7052

                                = 0.392 J

The remaining kinetic energy ΔK.E = 1.7052 J - 0.392 J

                                                  = 1.3132 J

The velocity at which the ball leave the ground is calculated as;

ΔK.E = ¹/₂mv²

Therefore, the velocity at which the ball leave the ground is 6.62 m/s.

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
