Homework Statement
We performed an experiment on elasticity by dropping various different balls on different surfaces.
1, Using the equations of motion firstly show that the velocity after the first bounce=e(2gH)^1/2
2, the time (t2) from the first impact to the second impact is given by
t2=2e(2H/g)^1/2
show that T= ((2H/g)^1/2)((1+e)/(1-e))
I understand that g=a and H=s when considering the equations of motion but I can't understand how to bring the e into the equations? any help would be great
