A ball is released from height 'h' which makes perfectly elastic collision with ground. The frequency of periodic vibratory motion is (g=acceleration due to gravity)
Options
- A1 2 g 2h
- B1 2 2h g
- C1 2 g 2h
- D1 2 2h g
Correct answer
A. 1 2 g 2h
Step-by-step solution
Time taken by the ball to fall from height h to the ground is given by t = 2h g . Since the collision is perfectly elastic, the ball rebounds with the same speed and reaches the same height h . The time taken to go up is also t = 2h g . The total time period of one complete oscillation is T = 2t = 2 2h g . The frequency of the periodic motion is f = 1 T = 1 2 g 2h . Answer: 1 2 g 2h
