$A$ particle of mass $m$ strikes the ground inelastically with a coefficient of restitution $e$. Find the relation between the angles $\theta$ and $\alpha$ as shown in the figure.

  • A
    $\frac{\tan \alpha}{\tan \theta} = e$
  • B
    $\frac{\tan \theta}{\tan \alpha} = e$
  • C
    $\tan^2 \theta + \tan^2 \alpha = 1$
  • D
    $\tan^2 \theta + \tan^2 \alpha = e^2$
