The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the collision of a particle with a wall at an angle and determine the impulse and the coefficient of restitution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Collision:** - A particle of mass \( m \) is moving with velocity \( v \) and strikes a wall at an angle \( \alpha \). - After the collision, the particle leaves the wall making the same angle \( \alpha \) with the wall. 2. **Components of Velocity:** - Before the collision, the velocity components of the particle can be expressed as: - \( v_x = v \cos \alpha \) (along the wall) - \( v_y = v \sin \alpha \) (perpendicular to the wall) - After the collision, the components of the velocity will be: - \( v'_x = v' \cos \alpha \) (along the wall) - \( v'_y = -v' \sin \alpha \) (since the direction changes) 3. **Conservation of Momentum:** - Since there are no external forces acting along the line of impact, momentum is conserved. - The initial momentum along the y-direction (perpendicular to the wall) is: \[ p_{initial} = m v_y = m v \sin \alpha \] - The final momentum along the y-direction after the collision is: \[ p_{final} = -m v' \sin \alpha \] - Setting initial momentum equal to final momentum: \[ m v \sin \alpha = -m v' \sin \alpha \] - This simplifies to: \[ v' = -v \] 4. **Calculating Impulse:** - Impulse is defined as the change in momentum. - The change in momentum along the y-direction is: \[ \Delta p = p_{final} - p_{initial} = -m v \sin \alpha - m v \sin \alpha = -2m v \sin \alpha \] - The impulse reaction of the particle on the wall is: \[ J = 2m v \sin \alpha \] 5. **Coefficient of Restitution:** - The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is defined as the ratio of the velocity of separation to the velocity of approach. - The velocity of separation (after collision) is: \[ v_{separation} = -v' \sin \alpha = v \sin \alpha \] - The velocity of approach (before collision) is: \[ v_{approach} = v \sin \alpha \] - Therefore, the coefficient of restitution is: \[ e = \frac{v_{separation}}{v_{approach}} = \frac{v \sin \alpha}{v \sin \alpha} = 1 \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The impulse reaction of the ball is \( 2mv \sin \alpha \). - The coefficient of restitution is equal to 1. ### Final Answers: - The correct statement is: - The impulse reaction of the ball is \( 2mv \sin \alpha \) (Option 1 is correct). - The coefficient of restitution is equal to 1 (Option 3 is incorrect).
