A ball is allowed to fall freely from a height of 42 m from the ground. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the ground is 0.4, then the total distance travelled by the ball before it comes to rest is

  1. A 84 m
  2. B 87 m
  3. C 72 m
  4. D 58 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 58 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( D_{total} = h_0 \left( \frac{1+e^2}{1-e^2} \right) \) \( D_{total} = 42 \left( \frac{1+0.4^2}{1-0.4^2} \right) \) \( D_{total} = 42 \left( \frac{1+0.16}{1-0.16} \right) \) \( D_{total} = 42 \left( \frac{1.16}{0.84} \right) \) \( D_{total} = 58 \text{ m} \)
