10.0 Head on elastic and inelastic collision
Coefficient of restitution $(e)$ is constant for two particular bodies.
Value of coefficient of restitution $(e)$ is, $$0 \leqslant e \leqslant 1$$
- For $e=1$, the collision is elastic
- For $e=0$, the collision is perfectly inelastic
- For $e<1$, the collision is inelastic
