Homework Statement
I'm supposed to determine the [vertical] coefficient of restitution of a tennis ball, and the horrizontal coefficient of restitution, and if possible produce an equation or ratio connecting the two.
Vertical CoR: 0.760
Constant x-component velocity: 0.853 m/s
Homework Equations
sqrt (h2/h1) = |v2/v1|
The Attempt at a Solution
I've already calculated the [vertical] coefficient of restitution, and googled to find out that my answer is consistent with that of standard tennis ball.
At this point I just don't know how to calculate the horrizontal CoR. My textbook and lab manual don't mention it, and I can't figure out what relationship they would have.
Can anyone help me out here?
