A ball is dropped from a height. If it requires 0.200 s0.200 \text{ s} to cross the final 6.00 m6.00 \text{ m} before striking the ground, determine the height, in m, from which it was dropped. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2.

Options

  1. A42.0542.05
  2. B51.0051.00
  3. C45.0045.00
  4. D48.0548.05

Correct answer

D. 48.0548.05

Step-by-step solution

Let the velocity of the ball at the beginning of the last 6.00 m6.00 \text{ m} be uu.

Using the equation of motion for the last 6.00 m6.00 \text{ m}:

s=ut+12gt2s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

6.00=u(0.200)+12(10)(0.200)26.00 = u(0.200) + \dfrac{1}{2}(10)(0.200)^2

6.00=0.200u+5(0.04)6.00 = 0.200u + 5(0.04)

6.00=0.200u+0.206.00 = 0.200u + 0.20

0.200u=5.800.200u = 5.80

u=29 m/su = 29 \text{ m/s}

This velocity is acquired by the ball after falling a height h1h_1 from rest.

Using v2=u2+2gh1v^2 = u^2 + 2gh_1 where initial velocity is zero:

(29)2=0+2(10)h1(29)^2 = 0 + 2(10)h_1

841=20h1841 = 20h_1

h1=42.05 mh_1 = 42.05 \text{ m}

The total height from which the ball was dropped is H=h1+6.00H = h_1 + 6.00.

H=42.05+6.00=48.05 mH = 42.05 + 6.00 = 48.05 \text{ m}
