1.) The gravitational force i.e., 5N acts as a net force on the ball during it's free fall.
F(during fall) = -5j --Answer
(vertical up ward direction considered as +ve direction and downward as -ve direction)

When ball strikes with the ground, it will apply the force on ground due to it's weight and change of momentum.
F = -5j - {m*v(1+e)/dt}j --Answer

Where, m = weight/g = 0.51 kg, v is the speed with which the ball strikes the ground, e.v is the factored speed by which the ball will bounce back, and dt is the time of contact of the ball with the ground.
After strike, if the ball stops, e = 0, if ball bounces back with same speed, e = 1, and if ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
