$A$ ball of mass $m$ strikes a smooth ground at an angle $\alpha$ as shown in the figure and is deflected at an angle $\beta$. The coefficient of restitution will be

  • A
    $\tan \alpha / \tan \beta$
  • B
    $\cos \alpha / \cos \beta$
  • C
    $\sin \alpha / \sin \beta$
  • D
    $\tan \beta / \tan \alpha$

$A$ tennis ball hits the floor with a speed $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the floor. If the collision is inelastic and the coefficient of restitution is $\varepsilon$, what will be the angle of reflection?

$A$ small steel ball bounces on a steel plate held horizontally. On each bounce, the speed of the ball arriving at the plate is reduced by a factor $e$ (coefficient of restitution) in the rebound, so that $V_{\text{upward}} = e V_{\text{downward}}$. If the ball is initially dropped from a height of $0.4 \text{ m}$ above the plate and if $10 \text{ s}$ later the bouncing ceases, the value of $e$ is:
