A ball falls from a height \(h\) upon a fixed horizontal floor. The co-efficient of restitution for the collision between the ball and the floor is 'e'. The total distance covered by the ball before coming to rest is [neglect the air resistance]

  1. A \(\frac{1-\mathrm{e}^2}{1+\mathrm{e}^2} \mathrm{~h}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1+e^2}{1-e^2} h\)
  3. C \(\frac{1-2 e^2}{1+e^2} h\)
  4. D \(\frac{1+2 e^2}{1-e^2} h\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1+e^2}{1-e^2} h\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dist \(=\mathrm{h}+2 \mathrm{e}^2 \mathrm{~h}+2 \mathrm{e}^4 \mathrm{~h}+-----\) \(d=\left[\frac{1+\mathrm{e}^2}{1-\mathrm{e}^2}\right] \mathrm{h}\)
