Coefficient of restitution

Question

Consider following statements A and B and identify the correct answer
A : Coefficient of restitution varies between '0' and '1'.
B : In inelastic collision, the law of conservation of energy is satisfied.

Easy

A

A and B are true
B

A and B are false
C

A is true but B is false
D

A is false but B is true

Solution

0 ≤ e ≤ 1. For elastic collision e = 1. For inelastic collision 0<e<1
In inelastic collision a part of the initial kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, but total energy remains conserved.
