- Perfectly elastic collision: A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy and momentum of the system is conserved in the collision.
- Inelastic collision: A inelastic collision is defined as one in which there is a loss of kinetic energy and momentum of the system is conserved in the collision.
- Coefficient of restitution is the ratio of relative velocity after impact to the relative velocity before impact.
Coefficient of restitution (e)
- For perfectly elastic collision, e = 1
- For inelastic collision, e < 1
- For a perfectly inelastic collision,e = 0
EXPLANATION:
As from the above discussion, we can say
- The coefficient of restitution for perfectly inelastic bodies is: e = 0
So option 1 is correct.
