Aball collides elastically with an immovable wall fixed to the earth’s surface. which statement is false? 1. the ball's speed is unchanged by the collision.2. the ball does no net work on the wall.3. the ball's kinetic energy is unchanged by the collision.4. the wall doos no net work on the ball.5. the ball's size and shape are unchanged by the collision.6. all of these statements are true7. the ball's momentum is unchanged by the collision

Statements 4, 6 & 7 are false.

Explanation:

For any elastic collision the vector sum of the total momentum of the system is zero.

Here we have an elastic collision between the ball and a fixed wall. The velocity of the ball will always remain zero whereas the velocity (hence momentum) of the ball will totally revert after the collision.

Initial momentum of the ball is given as:

where:

m = mass of the ball

v = initial velocity of the body

after the elastic collision:

see earlier answer

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
