See ure. Suppose the angle of reflection is `theta` and the speed after the collision is v. The floor exerts a force on the ball along the normal during the collision. There is no force parallel to the surface. Thus, the parallel component of the velocity of the ball remains unchanged. This gives
`v'sintehta'=vsintheta............i
For the components normal to the floor,
the velocity of separation `=v'costheta`
and the velocity of approach = `vcostheta`........ii
From i and ii
`v'=vsqrt^2+e^2cos^2theta)`
and `tantheta'=(tantheta)/e`
For elastic collision e=1 so that `theta'=theta and v'=v`.
