5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
hard
If the coefficient of restitution be $0.5,$ what is the percentage loss of energy on each rebounding of a ball dropped from a height ............ $\%$
A
$12.5$
B
$25$
C
$50$
D
$75$
Solution
$\%$ change in $\mathrm{K} \mathrm{E}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{i}}} \times 100 \%$
$=\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{c}}}\right)^{2}-1\right] \times 100 \%$
$=\left(e^{2}-1\right) \times 100 \%$
$=-75 \%(75 \%$ loss)
