Chapter 2, Problem 54P
A hard rubber ball, released at chest height, falls to the pavement and bounces back to nearly the same height. When it is in contact with the pavement, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is on the order of 1 cm. Find the order of magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the pavement. State your assumptions, the quantities you estimate, and the values you estimate for them.

Please help me to solve this problem and explain steps
A car is driving along a level and unbanked circular track of diameter
We want to find the coefficient of restitution e between the ball and the floor. We will be able to measure the time of
flight between subsequent bounces, but not the velocities before and after each impact.
Question 1
a. Using the kinematics equation for position, find a relationship
between the time of flight tn and the velocity of the ball after
the nth bounce. You should obtain a quadratic equation that
has two solutions for the time tm, but only one of them
represents the time of flight.
b. Using the kinematics equation for velocity and the relationship
determined in the previous step, find the relationship between
the velocity right after the nth bounce and the velocity right
before the (n +1)th bounce?
c. Given your answers to the previous parts of this question and
the definition of €, find the coefficient of restitution e in terms of
the subsequent times of flight tn and tr+1.
