Conservation of momentum
Since the collision is the result of internal forces, the momentum is conserved at all
times. Therefore, its initial value and its final value must be equal and
We can measure the velocities of each particle with respect to the CM and obtain
the relative velocities
These relative velocities verify the condition both before and after the collision.
Energy conservation
Kinetic energy is generally not conserved in a collision, but is usually partially
dissipated. A ball that bounces off the ground does not return to the height from
which it started.
This means that there will be a difference in kinetic energy due to the collision
Coefficient of restitution
The coefficient of restitution (actually, quotient) is a measure of the degree of
conservation of kinetic energy in a collision between classical particles.
When two bodies collide, their materials can behave differently depending on the
restitution forces that act on them. There are materials whose forces will
completely restore the shape of the bodies without any change in shape or kinetic
energy lost in the form of heat, etc. In other types of collision, the materials change
their shape, release heat, etc., modifying the total kinetic energy.
A coefficient of restitution (K) is then defined that evaluates this loss or not of
kinetic energy, depending on the restitution forces and the elasticity of the
materials.
