A particle falls from a height $h $ upon a fixed horizontal plane and rebounds. If $e$ is the coefficient of restitution, the total distance travelled before rebounding has stopped is

  • A

    $h\left( {\frac{{1 + {e^2}}}{{1 - {e^2}}}} \right)$

  • B

    $h\left( {\frac{{1 - {e^2}}}{{1 + {e^2}}}} \right)$

  • C

    $\frac{h}{2}\left( {\frac{{1 - {e^2}}}{{1 + {e^2}}}} \right)$

  • D

    $\frac{h}{2}\left( {\frac{{1 + {e^2}}}{{1 - {e^2}}}} \right)$

$Assertion$ : In an elastic collision of two billiard balls, the total kinetic energy is conserved during the short time of oscillation of the balls (i.e., when they are in contact).
$Reason$ : Energy spent against friction does not follow the law of conservation of energy.
