“…Even if the contention were on the dissimilar materials, it will fail to account for the reported values around the 0.6 range found in previous studies conducted by rebounding steel balls off massive steel plates [19]. The experiments described to demonstrate the debounce of a superball [20] appear to have some parallels to the situation here in that there is mass sensitivity involved and that the movement of one ball is stopped. However, the physics based on two mass direct interaction will not provide an adequate exposition.…”

Under the theme of collisions that occur repeatedly, we conducted easy and inexpensive experiments of rebounding spheres and Newton’s cradle with two spheres to determine the coefficients of restitution using the sound record feature in modern laptops and a free and open source software called Audacity. In the rebounding sphere experiment, the coefficients of restitution of the golf and ping pong balls used were found to be 0.727 ± 0.025 and 0.816 ± 0.041 respectively. With the Netwon’s cradle experiment, the coefficient of restitution of two steel sphere balls was found to be 0.987 ± 0.003. The contrasts in the results obtained from both experiments permit the operational principles of a pendulum to be emphasized, and engagements to be made to consider the transfer of kinetic energy in the form of vibrational energy of the bodies’ constituents. Using a one-dimensional two-mass model with spring and damper linkages to account for harmonic motions that occur during impact, we found it possible to perform a simple analysis to account for this, and how it can be linked to high energy transfer modes such as the phenomenon of resonance and impedance matching.

“…Considering equation ( 5) for the ball with mass m 1 , according to which the ball with mass m 1 will be stopped after the collision (v 1 = 0) and it will give the maximum energy to the ball with mass m 2 , it must be valid that em 1 − (1 + e + e 2 )m 2 = 0; thus [4]…”
