To solve the problem, we need to find the coefficient of restitution \( e \) after a head-on collision between two identical balls, where one ball is initially at rest and the other is moving with speed \( v \). The kinetic energy after the collision is given to be \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the original kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Kinetic Energy Calculation**: The initial kinetic energy \( KE_{initial} \) of the moving ball is given by: \[ KE_{initial} = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 ...
