A small steel ball bounces on a steel plate held horizontally. On each bounce the speed of the ball arriving at the plate is reduced by a factor e (coefficient of restitution) in the rebound, so that `v_("upward")=eV_("downward.")` If the ball is initially dropped from a height of 0.4 m above the plate and if 10 seconds later the bouncing ceases, the value of e is

A

`sqrt(frac(2)(7))`

B

`frac(3)(4)`

C

`frac(13)(18)`

D

`frac(17)(18)`

A ball orf mass 100 g dropped on the ground from 5 m bounces repeatedly. During every bounce 64% of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Calculate the following: (a) Coefficient of restitution (b) Speed with which the ball comes up from the ground after third bounce. (c) Impulse given by the ball to the ground during this bounce. (d) Average force exerted by the ground if the impact lasts for 250ms.​

A ball is dropped from a highly raised platform at t=0 starting from rest. After 6 second another ball is thrown downwards from the same platform with a speed v. The two balls meet at t=18 s. What is the value of v? (Take g=10 m/s^2 )

From the terrace of building of height H, you dropped a ball of mass m. It reached the ground with speed v. Is the relation mgH = frac(1)(2)mv^2 applicable exactly ? If not, how can you account for the difference ? Will the ball bounce to the same height from where it was dropped?
