What are some examples of a coefficient of restitution?
1 Answer
Golf ball, coefficient of restitution = 0.86, steel ball bearing, coefficient of restitution = 0.60.
Explanation:
Golf ball, coefficient of restitution,
(where
You can also derive an expression for
(H is height of drop, h is height of rebound).
For the golf ball we can collect the following data:
H = 92 cm.
Find the average rebound height and then calculate the coefficient of restitution.
For the ball bearing we can collect the following data:
H = 92 cm.
Perform the same method as for the golf ball above.
