A projectile is launched at a speed uu and an angle hetaheta above a horizontal field. If the coefficient of restitution for the impact between the projectile and the field is ee, determine the distance from the launch point where the projectile experiences its second collision with the field.

Options

  1. A(1−e)u2sin⁡2θg\dfrac{(1 - e)u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}
  2. Beu2sin⁡2θg\dfrac{e u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}
  3. C(1+e2)u2sin⁡2θg\dfrac{(1 + e^2)u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}
  4. D(1+e)u2sin⁡2θg\dfrac{(1 + e)u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}

Correct answer

D. (1+e)u2sin⁡2θg\dfrac{(1 + e)u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}

Step-by-step solution

The horizontal range of the projectile before the first collision is R1=u2sin⁡2θgR_1 = \dfrac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}.

At the first collision, the horizontal component of velocity ucos⁡θu \cos \theta remains unchanged, while the vertical component of velocity becomes eusin⁡θe u \sin \theta directed upwards.

The time of flight for the motion between the first and second collision is T2=2(eusin⁡θ)gT_2 = \dfrac{2(e u \sin \theta)}{g}.

The horizontal distance covered between the first and second collision is R2=(ucos⁡θ)T2=2eu2sin⁡θcos⁡θg=eu2sin⁡2θgR_2 = (u \cos \theta) T_2 = \dfrac{2 e u^2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g} = \dfrac{e u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}.

The total distance from the launch point to the second collision is R=R1+R2=u2sin⁡2θg+eu2sin⁡2θg=(1+e)u2sin⁡2θgR = R_1 + R_2 = \dfrac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} + \dfrac{e u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{(1 + e)u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}.
