A ball falls on the ground fro a height of 2.0 m and rebounds up to a height of 1.5 m. Find the coefficient of restitution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`u=sqrt(2gh)`
`=velocity on the ground
when ball approaches the ground
`rarr u=sqrt(2x9.8xx2)`
`v=velocity of ball when it `
separates from the ground
`v=eu`
`v=sqrt(2gh_2)`
`=sqrt(2xx9.8xx1.5)`
`or e=(sqrt(2xx9.8xx15.5))/(sqrt(2xx9.8xx2)=sqrt3/2`

Two blocks of masses 2kg and M are at rest on an inclined plane and are separated by a distance of 6.0m as shown. The coefficient of friction between each block and the inclined plane is 0.25 . The 2kg block is given a velocity of 10.0m//s up the inclined plane. It collides with M, comes back and has a velocity of 1.0m//s when it reaches its initial position. The other block M after the collision moves 0.5m up and comes to rest. Calculate the coefficient of restitution between the blocks and the mass of the block M.
