A ball is dropped on a smooth inclined plane and is observed to move horizontally after the impact. The coefficient of restitution between the plane and ball is e . The inclination of the plane is
Options
- A45 o
- Btan - 1 ⁡ e
- Ctan - 1 e
- Dtan - 1 e 2
Correct answer
C. tan - 1 e
Step-by-step solution
Along the inclined plane m u   s i n θ = m v   c o s θ ⇒ t a n θ = v u Now, e = - v 2 - v 1 u 2 - u 1 = - 0 - - v   s i n θ 0 - u   c o s θ tan 2 ⁡ θ = e θ = tan - 1 e
