A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal and with an initial speed $u_{0}$ . For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is $V_{1}$ . After hitting the ground, ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $u_{0}/\alpha$ . Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V_{1}$ , the value of $\alpha$ is ____.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Ans. (4)
$\text { Average velocity } = \frac {\text { Total displacement }}{\text { Total time }}$
Total time taken = $t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + \ldots\ldots\ldots$ = $t_{1} + \frac{t_{1}}{\alpha} + \frac{t_{1}}{\alpha^{2}} + \ldots\ldots\ldots$
Total time = $\frac{t_{1}}{1-\frac{1}{\alpha}}$
Total displacement = $v_{1}t_{1} + v_{2}t_{2} +$ .....
$\begin{array}{l} = v _ {1} t _ {1} + \frac {v _ {1}}{\alpha}. \frac {t _ {1}}{\alpha} + \dots \dots \\ = \frac {v _ {1} t _ {1}}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}} = \frac {v _ {1} t _ {1}}{\left(1 + \frac {1}{\alpha}\right) \left(1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}\right)} \end{array}$
On solving
$\begin{array}{l} \langle v \rangle = \frac {v _ {1} \alpha}{\alpha + 1} = 0. 8 v _ {1} \\ \boxed {\alpha = 4. 0 0} \end{array}$
$\text { Average velocity } = \frac {\text { Total displacement }}{\text { Total time }}$
Total time taken = $t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + \ldots\ldots\ldots$ = $t_{1} + \frac{t_{1}}{\alpha} + \frac{t_{1}}{\alpha^{2}} + \ldots\ldots\ldots$
Total time = $\frac{t_{1}}{1-\frac{1}{\alpha}}$
Total displacement = $v_{1}t_{1} + v_{2}t_{2} +$ .....
$\begin{array}{l} = v _ {1} t _ {1} + \frac {v _ {1}}{\alpha}. \frac {t _ {1}}{\alpha} + \dots \dots \\ = \frac {v _ {1} t _ {1}}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}} = \frac {v _ {1} t _ {1}}{\left(1 + \frac {1}{\alpha}\right) \left(1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}\right)} \end{array}$
On solving
$\begin{array}{l} \langle v \rangle = \frac {v _ {1} \alpha}{\alpha + 1} = 0. 8 v _ {1} \\ \boxed {\alpha = 4. 0 0} \end{array}$

A ball is projected from the ground at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. It reaches a maximum height of 120 m and returns to the ground. Upon hitting the ground for the first time, it loses half of its kinetic energy. Immediately after the bounce, the velocity of the ball makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. The maximum height it reaches after the bounce, in metres, is......
Correct Answer: 30 [29.60, 30.40]
Explanation:
Ans. (30 [29.60, 30.40])
$H _ {1} = \frac {u ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 4 5}{2 g} = 1 2 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac {u ^ {2}}{4 g} = 1 2 0\tag{... (i}$
When half of kinetic energy is lost $v = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$
$H _ {2} = \frac {\left(\frac {u}{\sqrt {2}}\right) ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 3 0}{2 g} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{1 6 g}\tag{... (ii}$
From (i) and (ii)
$H _ {2} = \frac {H _ {1}}{4} = 3 0 m \mathrm{on} 3 0. 0 0$
$H _ {1} = \frac {u ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 4 5}{2 g} = 1 2 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac {u ^ {2}}{4 g} = 1 2 0\tag{... (i}$
When half of kinetic energy is lost $v = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$
$H _ {2} = \frac {\left(\frac {u}{\sqrt {2}}\right) ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 3 0}{2 g} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{1 6 g}\tag{... (ii}$
From (i) and (ii)
$H _ {2} = \frac {H _ {1}}{4} = 3 0 m \mathrm{on} 3 0. 0 0$
