The following lab work is found in GigaPhysics which involves questions based on a virtual lab regarding the coefficient of restitution. In the lab work, we understand the significance of the coefficient of restitution and how it differentiates the elasticity of different collisions.

Purpose:
• To understand the coefficient of restitution and its relation to the different type of collisions (inelastic, elastic, and partially
elastic.)
• To understand how to calculate the coefficient of restitution.
• To understand the application of the coefficient of restitution in our daily lives/real world.
Hypothesis: If the coefficient of restitution is closer to 1, then the collision is likely to be elastic. On the contrary, if the coeffic ient
of restitution is closer to 0, then the collision is likely to be inelastic. The coefficient of restitution is able to use th e ratio of
velocities before and after a collision to understand the "bounciness" or elasticity of the collision.
