With a plastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0.

With an elastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 0<e<1.

With an inelastic impact, the coeffecient of restitution is 1.

Why the value of coefficient of restitution of a perfectly plastic impact is 0?

Physicists distinguish between elastic and inelastic (and partially elastic) collisions. If you mean "elastic", the coefficient of restitution is 1. If you mean "inelastic", the coefficient of restitution is 0.Why? Because that's how "elastic" and "inelastic" collisions are DEFINED. If all the kinetic energy is maintained, the coefficient (relative speed after collision, divided by relative speed before the collision) is 1 - i.e., no movement is lost. If it is zero, all the movement energy (relative speed) is lost.


What is the value of coefficient of restitution for inelastic collision?

The coefficient of restitution for an inelastic collision is typically between 0 and 1, where 0 represents a perfectly inelastic collision (objects stick together after colliding) and 1 represents a perfectly elastic collision (objects bounce off each other without any loss of kinetic energy). In an inelastic collision, the kinetic energy is not conserved and part of it is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound.


What is coefficient of restitution?

The coefficient of restitution is a measure of how much kinetic energy is retained after a collision between two objects. It is a value between 0 and 1, where 1 represents a perfectly elastic collision (no energy loss) and 0 represents a perfectly inelastic collision (all energy is lost).


Elastic and inelastic collisions?

its a collision


How do you determine if a collision was elastic inelastic or perfectly inelastic?

just check momentum before and after and if they're the same then elastic if not then inelastic.


What is the difference in elastic collision and inelastic collision?

Elastic collision transfers more energy into motion while inelastic transfers energy into deformation of the objects. Elastic could be called more efficient transfer.


Which type of collision occurs when a baseball bat hits a baseball?

inelastic collision The formulas for the velocities after a one-dimensional collision are: where V1f is the final velocity of the first object after impact V2f is the final velocity of the second object after impact V1 is the initial velocity of the first object before impact V2 is the initial velocity of the second object before impact M1 is the mass of the first object M2 is the mass of the second object CR is the coefficient of restitution; if it is 1 we have an elastic collision; if it is 0 we have a perfectly inelastic collision


What is elastic and inelastic collisions in terms of momentum?

In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that momentum before and after the collision is the same, and the objects bounce off each other without any loss of kinetic energy. In inelastic collisions, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. Some kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision.


How can you determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic?

In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved, meaning the total energy before and after the collision remains the same. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, and some of the energy is transformed into other forms, such as heat or sound. To determine whether a collision is elastic or inelastic, you can calculate the total kinetic energy before and after the collision. If the total kinetic energy remains the same, it is an elastic collision. If the total kinetic energy decreases, it is an inelastic collision.


What is the difference between an inelastic collision and an elastic collision?

In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.


What is the value of coefficient of restitution for the perfectly elastic body?

It is 1. A value of 0 is perfectly inelastic, but examples of objects where it is 1 are hard to come by. (eg. 2 electrons colliding.)


1 In a collision that is inelastic the total what after the collision is not the same as before the collision?

Hi, in line with Newton's laws of motion the momentum before and after a collision is always conserved (when no external force is applied to change the systems momentum). In elastic collisions we can apply the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy principles. In inelastic collisions we can only apply the conservation of momentum principle. Energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions because energy is lost through small deformations, noise, friction, etc. We can compute the coefficient of restitution that helps determine this degree of energy loss from impulse-momentum equations.
