$A$ sphere strikes a wall and rebounds with a coefficient of restitution $e = 1/3$. If it rebounds with a velocity of $0.1 \ m/s$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the normal to the wall,the percentage loss of kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $50\%$
  • B
    $33 \frac{1}{3}\%$
  • C
    $40\%$
  • D
    $66 \frac{2}{3}\%$

An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,
