Question

# A ball of mass m hits a floor with a speed $$v_0$$ making an angle of incidence $$\alpha$$ with the normal. The coefficient of restitution is e. Find the speed of the reflected ball.

A
(v0sinα)2+(ev0cosα)2
B
(v0sinα)2(ev0cosα)2
C
(v0cosα)2+(ev0sinα)2
D
(v0sinα)+(ev0sinα)

Solution

## The correct option is A $$\sqrt {(v_0\, sin\, \alpha)^2\, +\, (ev_0\, cos\, \alpha)^2}$$Answer is A.The component of velocity $$v_0$$ along common tangential direction $$v_0$$ sin $$\alpha$$ will remain unchanged. Let v be the component along common normal direction after collision. Applying, Relative speed of separation = e (Relative speed of approach) along common normal direction, we getThus, after collision components of velocity v' are $$v_0$$ sin $$\alpha$$ and $$ev_0$$ cos $$\alpha$$Therefore, $$v'\, =\, \sqrt {(v_0\, sin\, \alpha)^2\, +\, (ev_0\, cos\, \alpha)^2}$$Hence, the speed of the reflected ball is $$v'\, =\, \sqrt {(v_0\, sin\, \alpha)^2\, +\, (ev_0\, cos\, \alpha)^2}$$Physics
