$A$ ball is dropped from a height $h_0$. It undergoes $n$ collisions with the ground. If the velocity of the ball after $n$ rebounds is $u_n$ and it reaches a height $h_n$,which formula gives the coefficient of restitution $e$?

  • A
    $e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}$
  • B
    $e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_0}{h_n}}$
  • C
    $ne = \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{ne} = \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}$
