A small ball is projected along the floor towards wall AB. Immediately before hitting wall AB, the ball is moving with speed v m s–1 at an angle α to AB, where 0 < α < 2 π The ball hits wall AB and then hits wall CD. After the impact with wall CD, the ball is moving at angle 1 2 α to CD. The coefficient of restitution between the ball and wall AB is 2 3 The coefficient of restitution between the ball and wall CD is also 2 3 The floor and the walls are modelled as being smooth. The ball is modelled as a particle. (a) Show that tan 1 2 α = 1 3 (7) (b) Find the percentage of the initial kinetic energy of the ball that is lost as a result of the two impacts.
