$A$ ball falls vertically onto a floor with momentum $p$ and then bounces repeatedly. If the coefficient of restitution is $e$, then the total momentum imparted by the ball on the floor is:

  • A
    $p(1+e)$
  • B
    $\frac{p}{1-e}$
  • C
    $p(1+\frac{1}{e})$
  • D
    $p(\frac{1+e}{1-e})$

$A$ smooth sphere moves on a horizontal surface with a velocity vector $2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$ before it strikes a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the $\hat{j}$ vector,and the coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is $e = 1/2$. What will be the velocity vector of the sphere after it strikes the wall?
