For elastic collision, coefficient of restitution is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The ratio of velocity of separation after collision to the velocity of approach before collision
i.e. , `e =("velocity of separation (after collision)")/("velocity of appraoch (before collision)") = ((v_2 - v_1))/(u_1 - u_2)`
