Homework Statement
Ball strikes inclined plane of infinite mass with velocity v vertically. Elastic collisions. Velocity and direction after collision?
One way of solving is take components along and perpendicular to inclined plane and then solve easily.
Is there any way to solve is using energy conservation or some other way?
Homework Equations
Irrelevant. ;)
The Attempt at a Solution
The collision attempt (rather the solution):
Component ##\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}## and ##\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}##.
One component reversed, other the same.
Hence answer velocity v horizontally.
P.S.: This is NOT a homework question but for some reason the site admins don't accept that!
