sion, that is, when the distancebetween the centers of mass is shortest. Further, let L andL denote the impulses of compression and of restitution,respectively. Then we have L= I Fdt = mi{v— Vi) = — nhiv— V2), I^ = I F dt= m-i, (vi — v) = —nh {v^ — v). The foregoing relations follow at once from… … Fia. 118. 246 ANALYTICAL MECHANICS 198. Coefficient of Restitution. — It is found by experimentthat the ratio of the impulse of restitution to the impulseof compression depends only upon the nature of the bodiesin coUision. The ratio, therefore, is a constant of the sub-stances in collision. This…
