A ball kept at \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) height falls freely in vertically downward direction and hits the ground. The coefficient of restitution is \(0.4\). Velocity of the ball first rebound is \(\left[\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right]\)

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(16 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
v^2 & =0+2 g h \quad \ldots\left(\because v^2-u^2=2 g h\right) \\
& v^2=2 \times 10 \times 20=400 \\
& v=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\
& \mathrm{e}=\frac{\mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{v}}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The velocity of the body after the first rebound is
\(\begin{aligned}
& u=0.4 \times 20 \\
& u=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}\)
