Answer:
e = 0.3
Explanation:
Given:
– The strike speed vi = 10 m/s
– The rebound speed vf = 3 m/s
– The coefficient of elasticity = e
Find:
what is the coefficient of elasticity
Solution:
– The coefficient of elasticity e is given as a ratio of after and before impact speeds.
e = v_f / v_i
– The coefficient of elasticity for the given cas is as follows:
e = 3 / 10
e = 0.3
– The after impact speed is 3 tenth of the strike speed
