Question 4 a)
As a tennis ball bounces on a hard surface, it undergoes deformation, compressing and then rebounding. A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is dropped from a height of 2.4 m onto a concrete surface and rebounds to a height of 1.35 m. During impact, the ball compresses by approximately 5 mm. Ignore the effects of air resistance.
How fast is the ball moving when it hits the concrete surface?
