Answer:
0.912
Explanation:
Given that
Height of bouncing of the ball, h = 1.71 m
Number of times the ball bounced, n = 4 times
Height from which the ball was dropped, H = 2.47
First, let's start by defining what coefficient of restitution means
Coefficient of Restitution, CoR is the "ratio of the final to initial relative velocity between two objects after they collide. It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision."
It is mathematically represented as
CoR = (velocity after collision) / (velocity before collision)
1.71 = 2.47 * c^4, where c = CoR
1.71/2.47 = c^4
c^4 = 0.6923
c = 4th root of 0.6923
c = 0.912
