Question

A tennis ball with mass m = 50 g initially at rest falls from a height of 10 m at t0. The ball hit the ground at a time t1. It bounces back without loss of mechanical energy and leaves the ground a little while later marked as t2.  The ball then moves vertically up and reaches its highest position at t3. Ignore the effect of air resistance. g =9.81 m/s2.

(a) Find the momentum of the ball at t0, t1, t2, and t3

(b) Does the momentum of the ball conserve from t0 to t3? Explain your answer.

(c) What is the proper system here to apply the law of momentum conservation?
