$A$ ball is dropped from a height $h$ onto a ground level. If the coefficient of restitution is $e$,what is the height reached by the ball after the $n^{th}$ bounce?

  • A
    $h/e^{2n}$
  • B
    $e^{2n}/h$
  • C
    $he^n$
  • D
    $he^{2n}$

$A$ 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?

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides head-on with another sphere of the same mass which is at rest. The ratio of the final velocity of the second sphere to the initial velocity of the first sphere is (where $e$ is the coefficient of restitution and the collision is inelastic).

Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in rest position the two bobs are in contact (figure). One of the bobs is released after being displaced by $10^{\circ}$ so that it collides elastically head-on with the other bob.
