Coefficient of Restitution Definition#

Part 1#

The coefficient of restitution for an impact between two particles is the ratio of the:

Answer Section#

  • Magnitude of the restoration impulse to the magnitude of the deformation impulse

  • Incoming kinetic energy of the particles to the outgoing kinetic energy of the particles

  • Incoming momentum of the particles to the outgoing momentum of the particles

  • Magnitude of the restoration force to the magnitude of the deformation force
