MCQ
A smooth sphere is moving on a horizontal surface with velocity vector $3 \hat i + \hat j$ immediately before it hits a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the vector $\hat j$ and the coefficient of restitution between the wall and sphere is $\frac{1}{3}$. The velocity vector of the sphere after it hits the wall is
  • A
    $\hat i + \hat j$
  • B
    $3 \hat i - \frac{1}{3} \hat j$
  • $-\hat i + \hat j$
  • D
    $\hat i - \hat j$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-\hat i + \hat j$
c
$y-component$ of velocity is parallel to wall so it will not change velocity of sphere $=-v \hat{i}+\hat{j}$

$\mathrm{e}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\text {sepration }}}{\mathrm{V}_{\text {approach }}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{V}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$
