$A$ ball is let fall from a height $h_0$. It makes $n$ collisions with the earth. After $n$ collisions it rebounds with a velocity $v_n$ and the ball rises to a height $h_n$,then the coefficient of restitution is given by

An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,

$A$ moving ball collides head-on with a similar ball at rest. If $\frac{1}{4}$ of the kinetic energy is lost during the impact,the value of the coefficient of restitution is:
