[SOLVED] Does restitution coefficient depends on kinetic energy?

Does restitution coefficient depends on kinetic energy?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's determined by the ratio of the final velocity and the initial velocity. If you increase the initial velocity (with more kinetic energy) then the the final velocity will also be higher, so no it does not.
 
Thank you, very much!
