Question { 3237 }

How to caluculate the coefficient of restitution?

Answer

For a perfectly elastic collission
velocity of seperation=velocity of approach and for
perfectly inelastic collission velocity of seperation =0;

bodies are neither perfectly elastic or inelastic.

in that case
velocity of seperation=e where e=velocity of approach;

where 0 bodies.
This constant is known as "coefficient of restitution".
