    A ball after falling freely from a height of 4.9 m strikes a horizontal plane. If the coefficient of  restitution is\[\frac{3}{4},\]the ball will strike second time  4 with the plane after

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}s\]            

    B)  \[1\,s\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}s\]                

    D)  \[\frac{3}{4}s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Time taken by the ball to reach the plane \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 4.9}{9.8}}=1\,s\] Height attained by the ball after 1st bounce \[h={{e}^{2}}h\] \[={{\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)}^{2}}\times 4.9\] \[\frac{1}{2}gt{{}^{2}}=\frac{9}{16}\times 4.9\] \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9\times 4.9}{16\times g}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{18\times 4.9}{16\times 9.8}}=\frac{3}{4}s\] So, the ball will strike second time after \[=2\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{2}s\]
