$A$ smooth sphere moves on a horizontal surface with a velocity vector $2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$ before it strikes a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the $\hat{j}$ vector,and the coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is $e = 1/2$. What will be the velocity vector of the sphere after it strikes the wall?

  • A
    $\hat{i} - \hat{j}$
  • B
    $-\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$
  • C
    $-\hat{i} - \hat{j}$
  • D
    $2\hat{i} - \hat{j}$
