  7. ‘u₁’ and ‘u₂’ are the velocities of approach of two moving bodies in the same direction and their corresponding velocities of separation are ‘v₁’ and ‘v₂’. As per Newton's law of collision of elastic bodies, the coefficient of restitution (e) is given by

  8. A.

     e = v₁ - v₂/u₂ - u₁

    B.

     e = u₂ - u₁/v₁ - v₂
