Question

A body freely falling from a certain height ‘h’, after striking a

smooth floor rebounds and h rises to a height h/2. What is the

coefficient of restitution between the floor and the body?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that , h1=handh2=h2

We know that coefficient of restitution .

e=h2h1−−−√=h2h−−√=12–√

∴ Coefficient of the restituition ,e= 1/√2
