Answer:
The coefficient of restitution (COR), also denoted by (e), is the ratio of the final to initial relative velocity between two objects after they collide. It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision.

Coefficient of Restitution
The Coefficient of Restitution also denoted by "e" is the ratio of the final to Initial Relative Velocity between two Objects after they Collide.
It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision.
Significance of This!
The coefficient of restitution is important because it tells us whether a collision is elastic or inelastic.
A collision is said to be elastic when the value of e is closer to 1.
