प्रश्न
A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m. If the energy of the ball reduces by 40% after striking the ground, how much high can the ball bounce back? (g = 10 m s–2)
उत्तर
Let the mass of the ball be m, then, the initial potential energy of the ball
= mgh = 10 x 10 x m
= 100 m J
Since the energy of the ball reduces by 40% after striking the ground, energy left with the ball = 60% of P.E.
= `60/100 xx 100 "m"`
= 60 m J
Let the ball bounce back to height W due to this remaining energy,
∴ mgh = 60 m
h = `(160"m")/"mg"`
= 6m

- Take two aluminium channels of different lengths.
- Place the lower ends of the channels on the floor and hold their upper ends at the same height.
- Now take two balls of the same size and weight and release them from the top end of the channels. They will roll down and cover the same distance.
- At the moment of releasing the balls, which energy do the balls have?
- As the balls roll down which energy is converted into which other form of energy?
- Why do the balls cover the same distance on rolling down?
Note: The question is wrong. It should be "Why do the balls cover the same distance after rolling down"? - What is the form of the eventual total energy of the balls?
- Which law related to energy does the above activity demonstrate? Explain.
