a ball is projected from point A on the  ground against a wall as shown and  hits the wall at point B.   if the coefficient of restitution is e,  find the position of point C where  the ball hits the ground again.  (b, u, θ, ϕ, e are given)

the collision with the wall doesn′t  affect the motion of the ball in the  Y− and Z−direction.   total flight time of the ball in the air  is t=((2u sin θ)/g).  the distance the ball traveled in this  time in Y−direction is  y_C =u cos θ sin ϕ×((2u sin θ)/g)  ⇒y_C =((u^2 sin 2θ sin ϕ)/g)  before the collision with the wall the  ball moved in X−direction with speed  v_(x, i) =u cos θ cos ϕ  after the collision its speed   in X−direction is  v_(x, f) =e v_(x, i) =eu cos θ cos ϕ  (b/v_(x, i) )+(x_C /v_(x, f) )=t  x_C =e(tv_(x, i) −b)  x_C =e(((2u sin θ)/g)×u cos θ cos ϕ−b)  ⇒x_C =e(((u^2 sin 2θ cos ϕ)/g)−b)
