TopicProjectiles
TypeProjectile with bounce or impact
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a multi-step projectiles problem involving coefficient of restitution and energy/kinematics after a bounce. It requires setting up equations for the rebound velocity using e, then applying projectile motion formulas to find maximum height, but follows standard mechanics procedures without requiring novel geometric insight or proof techniques.
Spec6.03k Newton's experimental law: direct impact

In its subsequent motion, the greatest height reached by \(P\) above \(A\) is \(\frac{3}{10}\) of the vertical height of \(A\) above the horizontal plane.
  1. Find the value of \(e\). [6]
