Question
A body is dropped from height h1 and it rebounds to height h2.Find the coefficient of restitution.
Solution
Given, a body is dropped from a height h1.
Let v1 be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the plane.
∴
Let the ball rebound with velocity
As it attains the height
∴
Now the coefficient of restitution is given by,
∴
, is the coefficient of restitution.
Let v1 be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the plane.
∴



Let the ball rebound with velocity

As it attains the height

∴



Now the coefficient of restitution is given by,

∴
