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