Coefficient of restitution
Question

A smooth steel ball strikes a fixed smooth steel plate at an angle α=450  with the vertical. If coefficient of restitution is e=13,  the angle at which the rebound will take place is

Moderate
Solution

Vsinθ  =  usinα...............(1)Vcosθ  =  eucosα............(2)   tan  θ  =  1e  tanα    tan  θ  =11/3  tan450     θ=600
