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

  1. A \(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(12 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(16 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(h=20 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{e}=0.4 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\therefore v^{2}=0+2 g h=2 \times 10 \times 20\)
\(\therefore v=2 \times 10=20\)
\(e=\frac{\mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{v}}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{u}=\mathrm{ev}=0.4 \times 20=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
