The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coefficient of restitution (e) for a particle thrown vertically upward from the top of a tower. The particle reaches a height `h` after the first impact with the ground. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - A particle is thrown upward with an initial speed `u` from a height `h`. - After hitting the ground, it reaches a height `h` again. - We need to find the coefficient of restitution (e). 2. **Finding the Velocity Just Before Impact**: - When the particle is thrown upward, it will eventually come down and hit the ground. - We can use the kinematic equation to find the velocity just before impact (v): \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2gh \] - Here, `g` is the acceleration due to gravity, and we consider downward motion as positive. 3. **Finding the Velocity Just After Impact**: - After the impact, the particle reaches a height `h` again. At the maximum height, the final velocity (v') is 0. - We can use the kinematic equation again to find the velocity just after impact (v'): \[ 0 = (v')^2 - 2gh \] Rearranging gives: \[ (v')^2 = 2gh \implies v' = \sqrt{2gh} \] 4. **Using the Coefficient of Restitution**: - The coefficient of restitution (e) is defined as: \[ e = \frac{\text{velocity of separation}}{\text{velocity of approach}} = \frac{v'}{v} \] - Substituting the values we found: \[ e = \frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}} \] 5. **Final Expression**: - Therefore, the coefficient of restitution is: \[ e = \frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}} \]
