A 83 g steel ball is released from rest and falls vertically onto a steel plate. The ball strikes the plate and is in contact with it for 0.5 ms. The ball rebounds elastically, and returns to its original height
The time interval for a round trip is 4.00 s. In this situation, assume the plate does not deform during contact. The maximum elastic energy stored by the ball is closest to: A) 16 J B) 24 J C) 32 J D) 48 J E) 64 J
