An apple falls 5 m in height from a tree. It re0zx a bky05.wjbou,rzgg*8:)vbs+g6tib ekgs+ o: p1gjwnds from the ground with a quarter of its striking spe1w v :ziorggb sbpgekgt+s)g ,:8+j6* ed. The apple is in contact with the ground for approximately 0.1
s. What is an estimate of the magnitude of the average net force on the apple when it strikes the ground?
A. $10^0$N

Explanation: Speed of the ball v just before the hit;
mgh=21mv2
v=2gh
v≈10ms−1
The magnitude of velocity just after the bounce back;
v=2.5ms−1
The estimated mass of an apple is 0.1 kg.
Change in momentum;
Δp=p2−p1
=(−m4v)−mv
=−m45v
=(−0.1kg)(4(5)(2.5))ms−1
=−1.25≈1.0×100kgms−1
Duration of the collision is 0.1 s.
Force;
F=TimeChange in Momentum=1s1.0×100kgms−1=1.0×101 N
