A (2m)
Figure 1
A particle A of mass 2m is at rest on a smooth horizontal floor. The particle A is
projected along the floor with speed u towards a smooth vertical wall. The wall is fixed
on the floor and is perpendicular to the direction of motion of A, as shown in Figure 1.
The particle A collides with the wall.
The coefficient of restitution between A and the wall is e.
(a) Find, in terms of m, u and e, the magnitude of the impulse received by A in its
collision with the wall.
