Question

A ball is dropped on the ground from a height of 1 m. The coefficient of restitution is 0.6. The height to which the ball will rebound is :

Answer 1

Answer:

The height to which the ball will rebound is 0.36 m.

Explanation:

We know that, for inelastic collision between the ground and a ball, the height after xth collision is given by;

            hₓth = e²ˣ h

We can write it as;-

               e² = H (after collision)/ h (before collision)

So, putting the given values in the above formula, we get;-

             (0.6)² = H / 1 m

           0.36 × 1 = H

             0.36 m = H

Hence, the ball will rebound upto 0.36 m from the ground after collision.
