 If the coefficient of restitution be 0.5, what is the percentage loss of energy on each rebounding of a ball dropped from a height 

a
12.5%
b
25%
c
50%
d
75%

detailed solution

Correct option is D

given that e=v/u or v=eu=0.5u.Now percentage loss of energy=12mu2−12mv212mu2×100% =12mu2−12mu2/412mu2×100% =34×100=75%
