A ball is let fall from a height \(h_0\). It makes \(n\) collisions with the earth. After \(n\) collisions it rebounds with a velocity \(v_n\) and the ball rises to a height \(h_n\), then coefficient of restitution is given by

  1. A \(e=\left[\frac{h_n}{h_0}\right]^{1 / 2 n}\)
  2. B \(e=\left[\frac{h_0}{h_n}\right]^{1 / 2 n}\)
  3. C \(e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}\)
  4. D \(e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_0}{h_n}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(e=\left[\frac{h_n}{h_0}\right]^{1 / 2 n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The velocity of ball after \(n\)th rebound will be \(v_n=e^n v_0 \quad\left(\text { where } v_0=\sqrt{2 g h_0}\right)\) Therefore, the height after \(n\)th rebound will be…
