A ball having a mass of 200 g is released from rest at a height of 400 mm above a very large fixed metal surface. If the ball rebounds to a height of 325 mm above the surface, determine the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the surface.

0.9

Explanation:

h = 400 mm, h' = 325 mm

Let the coefficient of restitution be e.

h' = e^2 x h

325 = e^2 x 400

e^2 = 0.8125

e = 0.9
