The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the collision of a particle of mass \( m \) with a wall at an angle \( \alpha \). The particle strikes the wall with a velocity \( v \) and leaves at the same angle \( \alpha \). We will evaluate the four statements provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Collision**: - The particle strikes the wall at an angle \( \alpha \) and rebounds off at the same angle. - The wall is stationary, so its initial velocity is \( 0 \). 2. **Components of Velocity**: - Before the collision, the velocity of the particle can be resolved into two components: - **Perpendicular to the wall (y-direction)**: \( v_y = v \cos \alpha \) - **Parallel to the wall (x-direction)**: \( v_x = v \sin \alpha \) 3. **After the Collision**: - After the collision, the particle leaves the wall with the same angle \( \alpha \), so the components of the velocity after collision are: - **Perpendicular to the wall (y-direction)**: \( -v_y' = -v \cos \alpha \) (the direction is reversed) - **Parallel to the wall (x-direction)**: \( v_x' = v \sin \alpha \) (the direction remains the same) 4. **Change in Momentum**: - The change in momentum along the x-direction (parallel to the wall): \[ \Delta p_x = m(v_x' - v_x) = m(v \sin \alpha - v \sin \alpha) = 0 \] - The change in momentum along the y-direction (perpendicular to the wall): \[ \Delta p_y = m(-v \cos \alpha - m v \cos \alpha) = -2m v \cos \alpha \] 5. **Impulse on the Wall**: - The impulse imparted by the wall on the particle is equal to the change in momentum: \[ J = \Delta p_y = -2m v \cos \alpha \] - The impulse is directed towards the wall, hence the magnitude is \( 2m v \cos \alpha \). 6. **Coefficient of Restitution**: - The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is defined as: \[ e = \frac{\text{Velocity of separation}}{\text{Velocity of approach}} \] - Here, the velocity of separation is \( v \sin \alpha \) (after collision) and the velocity of approach is \( v \sin \alpha \) (before collision): \[ e = \frac{v \sin \alpha}{v \sin \alpha} = 1 \] 7. **Conclusion**: - Now, let's evaluate the statements: 1. **The impulsive reaction of the wall is \( 2mv \sin \alpha \)**: This is incorrect; it should be \( 2mv \cos \alpha \). 2. **The impulsive reaction of the wall is zero**: This is incorrect; there is an impulse. 3. **The coefficient of restitution not equals to one**: This is incorrect; it equals one. 4. **There is no force by the particle on the wall**: This is incorrect; there is a force due to the impulse. ### Final Answer: None of the statements are correct.
