A ball of mass hits the floor with a speed making an angle of incidence with the normal. The coefficient of restitution is .
The speed of reflected ball and the angle of reflection of the ball will be

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The parallel component of velocity of the ball remains unchanged. This gives
...(i)
For the components normal to the floor, the velocity of separation
and the velocity of approach
Hence, ... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
For elastic collision, , so that and
