    An elastic ball is dropped from a height h and it rebounds many times from the floor. If the coefficient of restitution is e, the time interval between the second and the third impact, is:

    A) \[\frac{ev}{g}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{e}^{2}}v}{g}\]

    C)  \[{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\left( \frac{8h}{g} \right)}\]

    D)  \[{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\left( \frac{h}{g} \right)}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Assume, initial velocity to be zero. From equation of motion \[h=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] when \[u=0,t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] The second impact occurs after an additional \[\text{time}=2\sqrt{2{{h}_{1}}g}=2e\sqrt{2h/g}\]\[(\because \,{{h}_{1}}={{e}^{2}}h)\] The third impact occurs after an additional \[\text{time}=2\sqrt{2{{h}_{2}}g}=2{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{2h/g}={{e}^{2}}\sqrt{8h/g}\] \[(\because \,{{h}_{2}}={{e}^{4}}h)\]
