A projectile is launched at a speed and an angle above a horizontal field. If the coefficient of restitution for the impact between the projectile and the field is , determine the distance from the launch point where the projectile experiences its second collision with the field.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The horizontal range of the projectile before the first collision is .
At the first collision, the horizontal component of velocity remains unchanged, while the vertical component of velocity becomes directed upwards.
The time of flight for the motion between the first and second collision is .
The horizontal distance covered between the first and second collision is .
The total distance from the launch point to the second collision is .
