Using the principle of the conservation of energy, the COR can be used to relate the bounce-back height to the original height of a ball dropped from rest. In fact, this ratio is equal to the square of the COR. Mathematically, if a ball is dropped from a height h(0), and bounces back to a height h(1), then: As the object hits the ground, it is compressed (like a spring) such that the energy of the ball is transferred into the compression of the material...
