$A$ tennis ball hits the floor with a speed $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the floor. If the collision is inelastic and the coefficient of restitution is $\varepsilon$, what will be the angle of reflection?

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan \theta}{\varepsilon}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sin \theta}{\varepsilon}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta \varepsilon$
  • D
    $\theta \frac{2 \varepsilon}{\varepsilon+1}$
