For perfectly elastic collision

What is coefficient of restitution for a perfectly inelastic collision ?

Show that coefficient of restitution for one dimensional elastic collision is equal to one?

A collision in which there is absolutely no loss of K.E. is called an elastic collision. In such a collision, the linear momentum , total energy and kinetic energy, all are conserved.The coefficient of restitution // resilience of perfectly elastic collisions is unity. Read the above passage and answer the following questions : (i) When two bodies of equal masses undergo perfectly elastic collision in one dimension, what happens to their velocities ? (ii) How is this fact applied in a nuclear reactor ?
