Correct answer: 5
-
Given:
- Initial height from which the ball is dropped:
- Coefficient of restitution:
-
Relation between rebound speed and impact speed: For collision with the floor, so,
-
Speed just before hitting the floor: Using energy (or kinematics),
-
Speed just after rebound: Squaring,
-
Maximum height after rebound: Let rebound height be . Then, Hence,
-
Substitute values:
Therefore, the ball rebounds to a height of
