normal
A ball of mass $M$ falls from a height $h$ on a floor which the coefficient of restitution is $e$. The height attained by the ball after two rebounds is
A
$e^2h$
B
$e{h^2}$
C
$e^4h$
D
$\frac{h}{{{e^4}}}$
Solution
A ball falling from height $h$ reaches the floor with velocity.
$v=\sqrt{2 g h}$
By definition
$\mathrm{e}=\frac{\text { velocity of separation }}{\text { velocity of approach }}$
Rebound velocity $=e \sqrt{2 \mathrm{hg}}$
Rebound height $=e^{2} h$
After two rebounds, height $=\mathrm{e}^{4} \mathrm{h}$
