Work Energy And Power Question 320

Question: A ball of mass m hits a wall with a speed v making an angle $ \frac{5g}{14} $ with the normal. If the coefficient is e, the direction and magnitude of the velocity of ball after reflection from the wall will respectively be -

Options:

A) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{\tan \theta }{e} ),v\sqrt{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +e^{2}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta } $

B) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{e}{\tan \theta } ),\frac{1}{v}\sqrt{e^{2}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta } $

C) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(e\tan \theta ),\frac{v}{e}\tan \theta $

D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(e\tan \alpha ),v\sqrt{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +e^{2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Let the angle of reflection be $ \theta $ ’ and the magnitude of velocity after collision be v’. As there is no force parallel to the wall, the component of velocity parallel to the surface remains unchanged.

Therefore, $ v’sin\theta\text{ }’\text{ = v sin }\theta….( 1 ) $

As the coefficient of restitution is e, for perpendicular component of velocity

Velocity of separation = e x velocity of approach

$ -( v’\cos \theta\text{ }’\text{ - 0} )=-e( v\cos \theta\text{ - 0} )….( 2 ) $

From (1) and (2)

$ v’=v\sqrt{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta\text{ + }{e^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta} $

and $ \tan \theta\text{ }’\text{ = tan }\theta\text{ /e} $
