When e < 1, the kinetic energy in the collision is ____

When e < 1, the kinetic energy in the collision is ____ Correct Answer Lost

Coefficient of restitution or e can be understood as the measure of how much kinetic energy is remaining after the collision. As e becomes lesser and lesser, more kinetic energy is lost in the collision. This can be easily understood with by deriving the coefficient of restitution in a completely elastic collision.
