JEE Main Physics question
A small sphere of mass kg is moving with a velocity m/s. It hits a fixed smooth wall and rebounds with velocity m/s. The coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is . Find the value of .
Answer: 9
Solution
For a smooth wall, the tangential velocity component is unchanged, so is purely along the wall's normal . Normal components: $
