Bouncing Beyond Physics : Exploring the Coefficient of Restitution⚡

The coefficient of restitution (COR), often denoted as "e," is a dimensionless number that quantifies the elasticity or "bounciness" of a collision between two objects. It provides information about how much kinetic energy is conserved or lost during a collision. The value of "e" ranges from 0 to 1, with different values indicating different types of collisions:
1. *Perfectly Elastic Collision (e = 1):* In a perfectly elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution is equal to 1. This means that the collision is completely elastic, and both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. In such a collision, there is no loss of kinetic energy, and the objects bounce off each other without any deformation or generation of heat. Perfectly elastic collisions are idealized and rarely occur in the real world.
