Coefficient of Restitution.

Plastic Collision = 0.

Elastic Collision = Between 0-1.

Perfectly Elastic Collision = 1.

There is difference in word perfectly elastic and elastic, e=1 perfectly elastic collision not for elastic collision.

COR is 1 for completely elastic collision, and elastic collision means collision between elastic bodies only.

COR ranges from 0-1 for elastic bodies/collision.

COR is 0 for plastic bodies/collision.

Here he has mentioned elastic bodies only. Had he mentioned completely elastic, then it would be COR=1. So here COR is not equal to 1. Hence the option is also correct.

What is mean by coefficient of restitution?

Guman said:   1 decade ago
COR is the ratio of relative velocity after impact to the relative velocity before impact.

Coefficient of restitution for:

Perfectly plastic bodies 0.

Plastic body is b/w 0-1.

Elastic bodies b/w 0-1.

Perfectly elastic bodies 1.

Please tell anyone clearly about Coefficient of restitution.

Rathi said:   1 decade ago
Coefficient of restitution for elastic bodies is 0 - 1.

Coefficient of restitution for perfect elastic bodies is 1.

So answer is B.

Guys how can an elastic collision occur unless and until the bodies are elastic.?

Jitendra said:   1 decade ago
For perfectly elastic cor : 1.

For perfectly inelastic cor : 0.

For partially elastic cor: 0 <e<1.
