Where does the Coefficient of Restitution equation come from, in terms of the Conservation of Energy?
The measure of efficiency is the velocity after the collision divided by the velocity before the collision, but how does it get to that point? I'm trying to view this focused on an object that is dropped from a specific height.
I believe it has something to do with 1/2mv^2=mgh (kinetic energy and gravitation potential energy put into Ei=Ef+Wnc) but I'm not sure how the transformation occurs.
Let me know if I'm being too vague, as I'm not exactly sure how much information is necessary.
