Coefficient of restitution
text:
The coefficient of restitution, is the ratio of the relative velocity of separation after collision to the relative velocity of approach before collision. It can also be defined as the square root of the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy. It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision. A perfectly inelastic collision has a coefficient of 0, but a 0 value does not have to be perfectly inelastic. It is measured in the Leeb rebound hardne
