Rotational Motion Question 118

Question: A ball collides with a fixed inclined plane of inclination θ after falling through a distanceh ? If it moves horizontally just after the impact, the coefficient of restitution is

Options:

A) tanθ

B) tan2θ

C)cotθ

D) cot2θ

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b]Writing coefficient of restitution equation

e=v2v1u1u2=0vsinθv0cosθ0=vv0tanθ

The velocity of ball will remain unchanged in the direction of sloping surface (common tangent)

v0sinθ=vcosθ

vv0=tanθ

e=tan2θ.
