A ball falls freely from a height \(\mathrm{h}\) on a rigid horizontal plane. If the coefficient of restitution is e, then the total distance travelled by the ball before hitting the plane second time is

  1. A \(h^2\)
  2. B \(h\left(1+2 e^2\right)\)
  3. C \(h\left(1-2 e^2\right)\)
  4. D \(h\left(1+e^2\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(h\left(1+2 e^2\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As ball dropped from height \(h\), then it will strike the plane with velocity, \(v=\sqrt{2 g h}\). Now after striking the plane, it will bounce back with velocity, \(u=e v\) Now it will travel total \(2 \mathrm{~h}_1\) distance before Here \(h_1=\frac{e^2 v^2}{2 g}\) So, total…
