Show that the ball's downward speed on impact is $19.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}$.
Calculate, to three significant figures, how far the ball falls before it reaches the ground.
The ball is in contact with the ground for $12.5\,\text{ms}$ and then rebounds with an upward speed of $18.6\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. The ball has a mass of $46.5\,\text{g}$. Calculate the average force on the ball during impact with the ground. State both the size and the direction of the force.
Use conservation of energy to find the greatest height the ball attains after striking the ground.
State and explain whether the collision of the ball with the ground is elastic or inelastic.
