INVESTIGATION OF THE COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION OF DIFFERENT BALLS DROPPED ON FLOATING RECTANGULAR PRISM

Abstract

In this study, the effect of draft on the coefficient of restitution was investigated. 3 different balls foam, plastic, table tennis were dropped from 3 individual heights 50, 80, 110 cm to a floating prism with 2 different drafts, the drafts being adjusted by adding weight. To control the results and see the effect of draft, the same experiment was conducted by dropping the balls on the prism on the floor. It was seen that as the draft of the rectangular prism was increased, the energy loss during collisions due to damping by the water was decreased

Keywords
