A wedge free to move of mass M has one face making an angle a with horizontal and is resting on a smooth rigid floor A particle of mass m hits the inclined face of the wedge with a horizontal velocity v It is observed that the particle rebounds in vertical direction after impact Neglect friction between particle and the wedge take M 2m v 10m s tana 2 g 10m s 0 a Determine the coefficient of restitution for the impact a M b Assume that the inclined face of the wedge is sufficiently long so that the particle hits the face once more during its downward motion Calculate the time elapsed between the two impar
