A particle of mass 0.8 kg moving at 4 m/s rebounds of a wall with coefficient of restitution 0.3. How much Kinetic energy is lost?

Coefficient of Restitution (CoR): Speed of Approach x CoR = Speed of Seperation 4 x 0.3 = 1.2 ms-1 Kinetic Energy (KE) Lost: KE lost = Initial KE - Final KE Initial KE = 1/2mv2      ...

Solve the pair of simultaneous equations; (1) y + 4x + 1 = 0, (2) y^2 + 5x^2 + 2x = 0 .

Rearrage equation (1) to make y the subject of the formula. This gives y = -4x -1 .

Substitute this value of y into equation (2). This gives (-4x -1)^2 +5x^2 +2x = 0 . 

Expanding out the bra...
