## Coefficient of Restitution?

Whats the equation for the coefficient of restitution again? Went blank!

 Code: Coefficient of Restitution = Speed of Separation = v1-v2 ------------------- ----- Speed of Approach u1-u2
 Mentor Blog Entries: 1 For the simple case of something bouncing off the floor (or any immoveable object) the coefficient of restitution is: c = vf/v0 where v0 is the speed of the object before the collision, and vf is the speed after the collision. For perfectly elastic collisions, c = 1.

It's like waiting for a bus, you have to wait for ages and then two come along at once.
 v1-v2/u1-u2, thats the one, thats guys!
