A particle of mass m moving with a speed u strikes a smooth horizontal surface at an angle 45 ° . The particle rebounds at an angle ϕ with speed v , if coefficient of restitution is 1 3 , then the angle ϕ is
Options
- A30 o
- B45 o
- C60 o
- D37 o
Correct answer
A. 30 o
Step-by-step solution
In y direction v sin ⁡ ϕ = e u sin ⁡ 45 o         … . i In x direction v cos ⁡ ϕ = u cos ⁡ 45 o         … . i i Equation i ÷ i i tan ⁡ ϕ = 1 3 ;   ϕ = 30 o
