A spherical ball of mass \(2\) kg falls from a height of \(10\) m and is brought to rest after penetrating \(10\) cm into sand. The average force exerted by sand on the ball is _______ N. (Take \(g = 10\) m/s\(^2\))

  1. A \(1980\)
  2. B \(2020\)
  3. C \(2000\)
  4. D \(1000\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2020\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the ball is equal to its change in kinetic energy. Since the ball starts from rest and finally comes to rest, the change in kinetic energy is zero. \(W_{\text{gravity}} + W_{\text{sand}} = \Delta K = 0\) The work done by…
