AI Thread Summary
To determine the speed of the marble after it rebounds from the wall, first calculate the velocity at point B using the standard constant acceleration equations for the x and y directions. Given the initial velocity of 75 ft/s and a coefficient of restitution of 0.6, the rebound speed can be found by applying the formula that incorporates the coefficient of restitution. The marble's speed after rebounding will be 0.6 times the speed just before impact. This approach will yield the final speed of the marble post-collision.

Using a slingshot, the boy fires the 0.3 lb marble at the concrete wall, striking it at point B.
If the coefficient of restitution between the marble and the wall is e= 0.6, determine the magnitude of the speed of the marble after it rebounds from the wall.

initial velocity is 75 ft/s

Help please! I don't even know where to start!

Hi tonchik! Welcome to PF! :wink:

Start by writing the standard constant acceleration equations for the x and y directions (separately), to find the velocity at B.

What do you get? :smile:
