A ball is dropped from a heght of 3.6 m and strikes a horizontal surface . It rebounds from the horizontal surface to height h . Calculate h , if coefficient of restitution is 0.6

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the rebound height \( h \) of a ball dropped from a height of \( 3.6 \, \text{m} \) with a coefficient of restitution \( e = 0.6 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understanding the Coefficient of Restitution
The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is defined as the ratio of the velocity of separation to the velocity of approach. In this case, it relates the velocity of the ball just after it rebounds (\( v_2 \)) to the velocity just before it strikes the ground (\( v_1 \)):
\[ e = \frac{v_2}{v_1} \]
