Question

The co-efficient of restitution e for a perfectly elastic collision is
(a) 1 (b) 0
(c) [infinity] (d) –1

Answer 1

Answer:

The co-efficient of restitution for a perfectly elastic collision is e=1 .

The co-efficient of restitution for a perfectly inelastic collision is e=0 .

The co-efficient of restitution for rest of the collisions is $$0<e < 1$$.

Answer 2

Answer:

The co-efficient of restitution e for a perfectly elastic collision is

(a) 1

(b) 0

(c) [infinity]

(d) –1
