Code:
Coefficient of Restitution = Speed of Separation = v1-v2

Speed of Approach u1-u2

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.
