A metal ball rebounds better than a rubber ball. Why?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

A metal ball rebounds better than a rubber ball because, when a rubber ball strikes a wall it is distorted and a huge amount of heat is produced due to rubbing of its molecules against each other. This type of effect does not take place in hard materials like a metal ball. There is a less loss of energy when the metal ball collide with the wall. Hence, a metal ball rebounds better than a rubber ball.

prove that in an elastic one dimensional collision between two bodies, the relative velocity of approach before collision is equal to the relative velocity of seperation after the collision. Hence derive expressions for the velocities of two bodies in terms of their initial velocities before collision.
