The first question was just to work out the kinetic energy of the ostrich which I actually got wrong somehow, I'm blaming it on the ostrich.
Mechanics is great though, don't you do much?
We do some in Physics, pretty much none in Maths unless you count kinematics.
If you asked me about coefficient of restitution, I wouldn't be able to tell you what it is. Mechanics in Physics was mainly about net forces, resolving vectors, and we did some motion is fields; projectile motion, Kepler's 3rd Law etc.
It seems quite fun, but I really like the other bit of physics we're doing - especially the derivations of equations.

Coefficient of restitution is basically a coefficient for how bouncy a collision between two things is (1=elastic collision, if it's 0 they would just both stop).
Mechanics is fun but I'm beginning to like stats too.
