    $e$
  • B

In the figure shown,a small ball hits obliquely a smooth and horizontal surface with speed $u$ whose $x$ and $y$ components are indicated. If the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{1}{2}$,then its $x$ and $y$ components $v_x$ and $v_y$ just after collision are respectively

$A$ small steel ball bounces on a steel plate held horizontally. On each bounce,the speed of the ball arriving at the plate is reduced by a factor $e$ (coefficient of restitution) in the rebound,so that $V_{\text{upward}} = e V_{\text{downward}}$. If the ball is initially dropped from a height of $0.4 \text{ m}$ above the plate and if $10 \text{ s}$ later the bouncing ceases,the value of $e$ is:

$A$ ball $P$ collides with another identical ball $Q$ at rest. For what value of the coefficient of restitution $e$ will the velocity of ball $Q$ become two times that of ball $P$ after the collision?
