$A$ ball is let fall from a height $h_0$. It makes $n$ collisions with the earth. After $n$ collisions it rebounds with a velocity $v_n$ and the ball rises to a height $h_n$,then the coefficient of restitution is given by

  • A
    $e=\left[\frac{h_n}{h_0}\right]^{1 / 2 n}$
  • B
    $e=\left[\frac{h_0}{h_n}\right]^{1 / 2 n}$
  • C
    $e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}$
  • D
    $e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_0}{h_n}}$

An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,
