A ball strikes a smooth horizontal floor...

A ball strikes a smooth horizontal floor at an angle `alpha` with the normal to the surface and after rebounding from the floor , ball moves at an angle `beta ` with the normal . Find the relation between `alpha` and `beta ` if coefficient of elasticity is e .

To find the relation between the angles of incidence (α) and reflection (β) of a ball rebounding off a smooth horizontal floor with a coefficient of restitution (e), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - A ball strikes the floor at an angle α with the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface). - After rebounding, it moves at an angle β with the normal. - The coefficient of restitution (e) relates the velocities before and after the collision. ...
