QUESTION 3              [START ON A NEW PAGE]

A hard, plastic toy car 0,6 m high from the ground, is placed next to a block of flats. A child
leans over the edge of the roof of the building, 21 m above the roof of the car. The child
throws a tennis ball, with a mass 73 g, vertically upwards. The tennis ball moves upwards to
point X, falls back past the top of the building and hits the roof of the car after 3,77 s. Ignore
all the effects of air resistance. Take UPWARD motion as POSITIVE.

3.1    Is the tennis ball, while it is moving downwards towards the car, in free fall?
       Write down YES or NO. Give a reason for the answer.                                    (2)
3.2    Calculate the:

       3.2.1 magnitude of the velocity with which the tennis ball was thrown upwards. (3)
       3.2.2 maximum height that the tennis ball will reach above the ground.                 (4)

3.3    The tennis ball strikes the roof of the parked car with a speed of 24,04 m∙s-1.
       Assume the roof does not get dented. The tennis ball bounces INELASTICALLY
       on the roof where the rebound speed of the tennis ball is 25% lower than the
       speed which the tennis ball strikes the roof of the car.
       The tennis ball is in contact with the roof of the car for 0,1 s.
       Calculate the impulse of the tennis ball on the roof of the car.                (4)

3.4    Sketch a velocity versus time graph for the motion of the tennis ball from the instant
       it is thrown vertically upwards until it bounces off the roof of the car and reaches its
       highest point.

       Indicate the following on the graph:
          • Time taken to reach the roof of the car,
          • Time at which it leaves the roof of the car

past position B, the lowest position of its trajectory, at 2 m∙s-1, striking a stationary crate, X,
of 2 kg mass. Ignore ALL friction forces.

QUESTION 6              [START ON A NEW PAGE]

The Doppler effect is applicable to both sound and light waves. It also has very important
applications in our daily lives.
An observer at rest near the tunnel entrance can use Doppler effect to detect the speed of
an ambulance. An ambulance approaches a tunnel in a mountain at a constant velocity. A
stationary observer hears or detects the frequency of a moving ambulance as 1 204,16 Hz,
which is 1,0625 times the actual frequency of the sound emitted by the ambulance.
Take the speed of sound in air as 340 m∙s-1.

       observer near the tunnel entrance.                                               (4)
