Work Energy And Power Question 116

Question: A particle falls from a height h upon a fixed horizontal plane and rebounds. If e is the coefficient of restitution, the total distance travelled before rebounding has stopped is [EAMCET 2001]

Options:

A) h(1+e21e2)

B) h(1e21+e2)

C) h2(1e21+e2)

D) h2(1+e21e2)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Particle falls from height h then formula for height covered by it in nth rebound is given by hn=he2n

where e = coefficient of restitution,

n = No. of rebound Total distance travelled by particle before rebounding has stopped H=h+2h1+2h2+2h3+2hn+..

=h+2he2+2he4+2he6+2he8+

=h+2h(e2+e4+e6+e8+.)

=h+2h[e21e2]=h[1+2e21e2]=h(1+e21e2)
