coefficient of restitution is defined as the ratio of final velocity to initial velocity between two objects after collision
the coefficient of restitution is measure of how much kinetic energy remains after collision after two bodies
its value ranges from zero to one
if it is close to 1 it suggest that very little kinetic energy is lost during the collision
if it is close to zero it suggests that very high kinetic energy is lost during collision
in case of perfectly elastic collision the coefficient of restitution is precisely 1
