A hot ball would bounce higher than a cold ball because it is more flexible and compresses more than a cold ball on impact. This means that at the moment the ball is stationary, before bouncing up, the ball has more energy stored - much like a spring - allowing the ball to propell itself upwards with a higher force.
The hot ball will reach a point, however, where it will either become sticky or lose its rigidity so much that it won't return to normal after impact. Beyond this point the ball will bounce less and eventually not at all.
So a bit of rigidity is important for a ball to bounce, but too much is not good!
A hot ball bounces higher than a cold ball because all the rubber and molecules are frozen and wont work well
Also, to improve,it's because hot water has more pressure in it. If the ball has more pressure in it, the surface of the ball becomes really hard and super bouncy.

What are the difference between a hot and cold softball will it bounce different?
I did my science fair on this, there was no huge difference in the two. But when hitting the hot and cold ball you could definitely feel a difference. In my project i concluded the cold ones go further because they are harder
What is the hotness and coldness of air called?
every minute clouds are going higher and higher into the atmosphere , (which is extremely cold ). every minute clouds are going higher and higher into the atmosphere , (which is extremely cold ).
Does warm water have higher salinity than cold water?
Water salinity describes the amount of salty minerals dissolved in a sample of water. It would therefore make no difference whether the water is warm or cold, since you would have the same amount of salt dissolved in the water per cm3 of water. Salinity would change if you added more water, or if the water was so hot that some of it evaporates, leaving all the dissolved solids behind, but decreasing the amount of water it is dissolved in.
Why would gases diffuse faster on a warm day than on a cold day?
The molecules of a gas move faster at higher temperatures, which therefore speeds up diffusion.
Is 15degreesC hot or cold?
It is pretty cold but closer to 20 would a lot warmer
Will a hot tennis ball bounce higher than a cold tennis ball?
In theory, yes, however the largest effect of the temperature will be on the court. The hotter the surface is, the higher the ball will bounce.
Does a teenis ball bounce higher if its cold or hot?
if its cold its not going to bonce high if its warm its okay
How does the temperature of a tennis ball effect its height of its bounce?
the hotter the tennis ball is the higher it will bounce because the molecules are moving faster and the pressure is decreasing. Opposite when it is cold.
Does a tennis ball bounce higher when it is warmer or colder?
Hot. Personal experiments have shown that temperatures below 25°C make the ball bounce less. From 25°C and upwards there aren't any greater changes in height of bounce. The balls bounce almost the same.
Does a ball bounce better on cold days?
No, it would bounce better on warm days because heat makes things exspand and cold makes thing shrink
Which will bounce higher a hot or cold ball?
Neither. When a rubber ball gets hot, the rubber begins to lose its elasticity. It doesn't bounce as high. When a rubber ball gets really cold, it starts to behave rather like a rock. It hardly bounces at all The temperature of highest bounce depends on exactly what the ball is made of, but it is probably not all that far from room temperature.
Why does a tennis ball bounce higher than a cold one?
b/c the air particles in the ball are moving faster, causing it to b slightly more pressurized
Why do balls bounce higher hot?
Cooler air is heavier than warmer air. So when the ball hits the ground, a lot of force has to be added to it for it to bounce high. It's just like a balloon, when you take a balloon out in cold weather, it deflates. The same happens to a ball. With more pressure on the inside of the ball pushing against the "rubber" surface, it causes it to bounce higher.
Why would a basketball at room temperature bounce higher than a frozen basketball?
The basketball at room temperature has more energy, because cold is just the absence of energy. The ball that is frozen would not bounce as high because it is wanting to stay in that shape, and has less time to react.
What makes a basketball bounce higher?
when more pressure is applied to a basketball the ball bounces higher. your strength matters. if your strong, you throw the ball on the ground with all your might it will go very high. air inside the ball also matters. if 3/4 of the ball or less is full the ball will barely bounce. in fact there are chances it will not bounce at all no matter how strong you are. you need to make sure that the ball is full of air if you want it to bounce
Does the temperature effect a balls bounce?
It is better to bounce a netball or anything in warm weather why because it is warmer and it seams to bounce higher and than when it is cold it seams to bounce less!! hope this helps with your homework.!
Which tennis ball bounce higher a frozen one or a unfrozen one?
Technically, a frozen tennis ball will not bounce well because of the temperature. The elasticity is one of the factors in which a ball bounces and when things are colder, there isn't as much elasticity, so it will not bounce as well. Therefore, a dry ball (as long as it wasn't frozen in a container) will bounce better than a frozen one.
