$A$ ball is thrown with a velocity of $6\, m/s$ vertically downwards from a height $H = 3.2\, m$ above a horizontal floor. If it rebounds back to the same height,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ is $[g = 10\, m/s^2]$.

Two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with initial velocities $u_1$ and $u_2$. On collision,one of the particles gets excited to a higher level after absorbing energy $\varepsilon$. If the final velocities of the particles are $v_1$ and $v_2$,then we must have:

$A$ body falls freely onto a hard horizontal surface. If the coefficient of restitution between the surface and the body is $e = 0.8$,then the ratio of the maximum height to which the body rises after the second impact to the initial height of the body is:
