    An elastic ball is dropped from a height\[h\]and it rebounds many times from the floor. If the coefficient of restitution is\[e\], the time interval between the second and the third impacts, is

    A) \[ev/g\]                              

    B) \[{{e}^{2}}v/g\]

    C) \[{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\left( \frac{8h}{g} \right)}\]                       

    D) \[{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\left( \frac{h}{g} \right)}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The first impact occurs after time\[t=\sqrt{\left( \frac{2h}{g} \right)}\] The second impact occurs after an additional time\[=2\sqrt{\frac{2{{h}_{1}}}{g}}=2e\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] \[\therefore \]The third impact occurs after an additional time\[=2\sqrt{\frac{2{{h}_{2}}}{g}}=2{{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}={{e}^{2}}\sqrt{\frac{8h}{g}}\]
