The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the uniform solid sphere after it receives a horizontal impulse \( J \) at a height \( h \) above its center of mass. We will determine the value of \( h \) and the speed of the center of mass \( v_{cm} \) after the impulse is applied. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a uniform solid sphere of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \). - The sphere is placed on a smooth horizontal surface, meaning there is no friction. - An impulse \( J \) is applied at a height \( h \) above the center of mass. 2. **Torque and Angular Acceleration**: - The impulse \( J \) creates a torque about the center of mass. The torque \( \tau \) due to the impulse is given by: \[ \tau = J \cdot h \] - The moment of inertia \( I \) of a solid sphere about its center of mass is: \[ I = \frac{2}{5} M R^2 \] - The angular acceleration \( \alpha \) can be related to the torque by: \[ \tau = I \alpha \implies J \cdot h = \frac{2}{5} M R^2 \alpha \] 3. **Linear Acceleration**: - The linear acceleration \( a \) of the center of mass is related to the angular acceleration \( \alpha \) by the equation for rolling without slipping: \[ a = R \alpha \] - Substituting \( \alpha \) from the torque equation, we get: \[ a = R \cdot \frac{J \cdot h}{\frac{2}{5} M R^2} = \frac{5J \cdot h}{2M R} \] 4. **Impulse-Momentum Theorem**: - The impulse \( J \) also relates to the change in linear momentum of the sphere. The change in momentum is: \[ J = \Delta p = M v_{cm} - 0 \implies M v_{cm} = J \implies v_{cm} = \frac{J}{M} \] 5. **Finding the Height \( h \)**: - For pure rolling to occur, the center of mass must rise to a height where the impulse is effectively applied. The height \( h \) can be determined from the condition that the angular momentum about the center of mass must be consistent with the linear motion: \[ h = \frac{2}{5} R \] - This height corresponds to the point where the impulse causes the sphere to start rolling without slipping. 6. **Final Results**: - The value of \( h \) is: \[ h = \frac{2}{5} R \] - The speed of the center of mass \( v_{cm} \) is: \[ v_{cm} = \frac{J}{M} \] ### Summary of Results: - Height \( h = \frac{2}{5} R \) - Speed of center of mass \( v_{cm} = \frac{J}{M} \)
