T.4.1 Coefficient of Restitution Balls A steel ball bouncing on a polished steel mirror illustrates a highly elastic case; the ball will bounce for a considerable time. With another piece of apparatus balls of different materials can be bounced on steel. Some (glass, steel) are highly elastic, and some (wood, lead) are highly inelastic. The bounce height can be measured approximately with the apparatus. |
