Julia AguilarNo, the coefficient of restitution cannot be negative. It is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of relative speeds after and before a collision between two objects. It ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 represents a perfectly elastic collision and 0 represents a perfectly inelastic collision.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sounding of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up. While all the people are in the air, does Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
- Which has more momentum, a #7kg# object moving at #3m/s# or a #4kg# object moving at #7m/s#?
- The velocity of an object with a mass of #4 kg# is given by #v(t)= sin 9 t + cos 3 t #. What is the impulse applied to the object at #t= pi /3 #?
- The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of #3 kg# constantly changes from #60 J# to #270 J# over #8 s#. What is the impulse on the object at #5 s#?
- A ball with a mass of #2kg# moving at #1 m/s# hits a still ball with a mass of #6 kg#. If the first ball stops moving, how fast is the second ball moving?
