$A$ sphere strikes a wall and rebounds with a coefficient of restitution $e = 1/3$. If it rebounds with a velocity of $0.1 \ m/s$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the normal to the wall,the percentage loss of kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $50\%$
  • B
    $33 \frac{1}{3}\%$
  • C
    $40\%$
  • D
    $66 \frac{2}{3}\%$
