In physics, the coefficient of restitution, can be thought of as a measure of the elasticity of a collision between two bodies. It is a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the relative velocity of separation after a two-body collision to the relative velocity of approach before collision. In most real-world collisions, the value of e lies somewhere between 0 and 1, where 1 represents a perfectly elastic collision and 0 a perfectly inelastic collision. The basic equation, sometimes known as Newton's restitution equation, was developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1687.
