The coefficient of restitution of a perfectly elastic collision is :
The coefficient of restitution of a perfectly elastic collision is :
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 1
The Coefficent of Restitution is a measure of the "bounciness" of a collision between two objects: how much of the kinetic energy remains for the objects to rebound from one another vs. how much is lost as heat, or work done deforming the objects.
The coefficient, e is defined as the ratio of relative speeds after and before an impact, taken along the line of the impact:
e=SpeedofseparationSpeedofapproach
(i) For perfectly elastic collision e=1
(ii) For perfectly inelastic collision e=0
(iii) For other collision 0<e<1
