Q184 / 200 · AP EAMCET 2001 · Physics

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

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

Solution

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

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
