t of a Particle upon a Fixed Plane. CaseI. Smooth Contact. — Let vt and vn, Fig. 121, be the compo-nents of the velocity along the plane and along the normal,respectively, just before the impact; and let vt and vn bethe corresponding components just after the impact. Sincethe plane is smooth, no… … Fig. 121. Denoting by a and 0 the angles which the resultant velocitymakes with the normal just before and just after the im-pact we obtain tan a = — i vn tan .-. tan a = e tan 0. (XIV) Discussion. — When the contact is perfectly clastic c= 1; thereforethe angle of incidence equals the angle of…
