Defining Coefficient of restitution

Coefficient of Restitution
Definition
The Coefficient of Restitution (e) is a scalar value between 0 and 1 which indicates the degree of restitution of kinetic energy after a collision.
Formula
e = sqrt((h2/h1)) where h1 is the height before the bounce and h2 is the height after the bounce.
