The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the collision of the ball with the smooth horizontal floor, applying the principles of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of Velocity:** - The ball strikes the floor with an initial velocity \( u \) at an angle \( \alpha \) with the normal. - The components of the initial velocity \( u \) can be expressed as: - \( u_x = u \cos \alpha \) (component along the normal) - \( u_y = u \sin \alpha \) (component parallel to the surface) 2. **Post-Collision Velocity Components:** - After the collision, the ball moves with a velocity \( v \) at an angle \( \beta \) with the normal. - The components of the final velocity \( v \) are: - \( v_x = v \cos \beta \) (component along the normal) - \( v_y = v \sin \beta \) (component parallel to the surface) 3. **Apply the Coefficient of Restitution:** - The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is defined as the ratio of the relative speed after collision to the relative speed before collision along the normal. - Therefore, we can write: \[ e = \frac{v_x}{u_x} = \frac{v \cos \beta}{u \cos \alpha} \] - Rearranging gives us: \[ v \cos \beta = e u \cos \alpha \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 4. **Conservation of Momentum in the Horizontal Direction:** - Since no external forces act along the horizontal direction (the surface is smooth), the horizontal component of momentum is conserved: \[ u_y = v_y \] - This gives us: \[ u \sin \alpha = v \sin \beta \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 5. **Square and Add the Equations:** - Square both equations: \[ (u \sin \alpha)^2 = (v \sin \beta)^2 \quad \text{(from Equation 2)} \] \[ (v \cos \beta)^2 = (e u \cos \alpha)^2 \quad \text{(from Equation 1)} \] - Adding these two equations: \[ u^2 \sin^2 \alpha + e^2 u^2 \cos^2 \alpha = v^2 \sin^2 \beta + v^2 \cos^2 \beta \] - Since \( \sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = 1 \), we can simplify: \[ u^2 (\sin^2 \alpha + e^2 \cos^2 \alpha) = v^2 \] 6. **Solve for \( v \):** - Rearranging gives us: \[ v^2 = u^2 (\sin^2 \alpha + e^2 \cos^2 \alpha) \] - Taking the square root: \[ v = u \sqrt{\sin^2 \alpha + e^2 \cos^2 \alpha} \] ### Final Result: The final velocity \( v \) of the ball after the collision is given by: \[ v = u \sqrt{\sin^2 \alpha + e^2 \cos^2 \alpha} \]
