$A$ tennis ball hits the floor with a speed $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the floor. If the collision is inelastic and the coefficient of restitution is $\varepsilon$, what will be the angle of reflection?

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta}{\varepsilon}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{\varepsilon}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta \varepsilon$
  • D
    $\theta \frac{2 \varepsilon}{\varepsilon+1}$

Ball $1$ collides with another identical ball at rest. For what value of coefficient of restitution $e,$ the velocity of the second ball becomes two times that of the first ball after the collision?

$A$ ball is thrown with a velocity of $6\, m/s$ vertically downwards from a height $H = 3.2\, m$ above a horizontal floor. If it rebounds back to the same height,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ is $[g = 10\, m/s^2]$.

$A$ body moving along a straight line collides with another body of the same mass moving in the same direction with half of the velocity of the first body. If the coefficient of restitution between the two bodies is $0.5$,then the ratio of the velocities of the two bodies after collision is (treat the collision as one dimensional).

$A$ ball is dropped freely from a height $h$. It bounces repeatedly on the ground. Find the velocity of the ball after $n$ bounces.
