A 0.140-kg baseball is dropped from rest from a height of 2.20 m above the ground and experiences negligible air resistance as it falls. It rebounds to a height of 1.60 m. What change in the ball's momentum occurs as it rebounds from the ground?

The change in momentum is -1.70 N*m

Explanation:

Change in momentum (p) is defined as the rest of momentum after the collision (pa) and momentum before the collision (pb):

$\Delta p = p_a-p_b$

Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, then:

$\Delta p = mv_a-mv_b$ (1)

With m the mass of the baseball, va its velocity after the collision and vb velocity before the collision, that is just after and before the ball touches the ground respectively, then our problem is reduced to find those velocities.

To find both we're going to use conservation of energy, the velocity before the collision is the velocity of the ball after falling 2.20m, then we can use conservation of energy as follows:

K_f+U_f=K_i+U_i

With K the kinetic energy and U the potential energy

$\frac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_{i}^2}{2}+mgh_i$

because the ball is dropped from rest the initial kinetic energy is zero and because the final height of the ball is zero then final potential energy is zero:

$\frac{mv_{f}^2}{2}=mgh_i$

Solving for vf:

$v_{f}=\sqrt{2gh_i}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(2.20)}=6.57\frac{m}{s}=v_b$

Now we should find the velocity just after the collision in a similar way:

K_f+U_f=K_i+U_i

$\frac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_{i}^2}{2}+mgh_i$

But now the initial momentum is when the ball just reached the ground (potential energy is zero here because is at level ground) and the final one is when the ball is at 1.60m (kinetic energy here is zero because the ball instantly stops), then:

$mgh_f=\frac{mv_{i}^2}{2}$

solving for vi:

$v_{i}=\sqrt{2gh_f}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(1.60)}=5.60\frac{m}{s}=v_a$

It's important to note that because we're working with velocities is important its direction, if we choose negative direction downward then the velocity before the ball touched the ground is positive and the velocity of the ball after touched the ground is negative because is upward, then:

$v_b=6.57\frac{m}{s}$

$v_a=-5.60\frac{m}{s}$

Using those values on equation (1):

$\Delta p = (0.140)(-5.60)-(0.140)(6.57)=-1.70 N*m$

sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appears on plots of stellar color versus brightness. these color-magnitude plots are known as hertzsprung–russell diagramsafter their co-developers, ejnar hertzsprungand henry norris russell. stars on this band are known as main-sequence stars or dwarf stars. these are the most numerous true stars in the universe, and include the earth's sun.after condensation and ignition of a star, it generates thermal energy in its dense core region through nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. during this stage of the star's lifetime, it is located on the main sequence at a position determined primarily by its mass, but also based upon its chemical composition and age. the cores of main-sequence stars are in hydrostatic equilibrium, where outward thermal pressure from the hot core is balanced by the inward pressure of gravitational collapse from the overlying layers. the strong dependence of the rate of energy generation on temperature and pressure to sustain this balance. energy generated at the core makes its way to the surface and is radiated away at the photosphere. the energy is carried by either radiation or convection, with the latter occurring in regions with steeper temperature gradients, higher opacity or both.the main sequence is sometimes divided into upper and lower parts, based on the dominant process that a star uses to generate energy. stars below about 1.5 times the mass of the sun (1.5 m☉) primarily fuse hydrogen atoms together in a series of stages to form helium, a sequence called the proton–proton chain. above this mass, in the upper main sequence, the nuclear fusion process mainly uses atoms of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen as intermediaries in the cno cycle that produces helium from hydrogen atoms. main-sequence stars with more than two solar masses undergo convection in their core regions, which acts to stir up the newly created helium and maintain the proportion of fuel needed for fusion to occur. below this mass, stars have cores that are entirely radiative with convective zones near the surface. with decreasing stellar mass, the proportion of the star forming a convective envelope steadily increases. main-sequence stars below 0.4 m☉undergo convection throughout their mass. when core convection does not occur, a helium-rich core develops surrounded by an outer layer of hydrogen.in general, the more massive a star is, the shorter its lifespan on the main sequence. after the hydrogen fuel at the core has been consumed, the star evolves away from the main sequence on the hr diagram, into a supergiant, red giant, or directly to a white dwarf.
