What is the coefficient of restitution (e)? |
Ratio of initial to final relative velocities Ratio of final to initial relative velocities Product of initial to final relative velocities Ratio of final to initial velocity of a body |
Ratio of final to initial relative velocities |
The coefficient of restitution (e) is the ratio of the final to initial relative velocities in a collision system. If the value of e = 1, then the collision is perfectly elastic. If it is equal to 0, then the collision is perfectly inelastic. |
