How is he bounce height of a ball related to the drop height?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
A ball of mass 0.150kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25m. it rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.960m what impulse was given to the ball by the floor?
1.39 Ns up
Does the mass of the ball affect how high it bounces?
a ball can never bounce over the height from which it was bounced unless u aplly a force. The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're one; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces. weight also affect the bounce height.
Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?
Yes
Why does a bouncing ball not bounce perpetually but instead lose height with each bounce?
The Theoretical: As strange and "counter-intuitive" as it seems, if a ball has perfect elasticity and falls on a surface that absorbs absolutely no energy, and if there is absolutely no atmosphere to interfere with the ball's movement, and if there are no other possible ways for any of the materials involved to absorb or give up energy in any form (including heat and sound), the ball would bounce without losing height in subsequent bounces for eternity. As you will see, the question is about the conservation of energy, and not about Newton's third law. The Practical: There are no such conditions as described above. The ball loses energy at many stages, and as a result, it eventually stops. In other words, don't put much effort into using this concept to build the long-sought-after Perpetual Motion Machine. Although all the energy is accounted for, some is irretrievable to the system and no longer useful for propelling the ball. As a result, the ball cannot reach its original height, which means it has less potential energy than it had before its initial drop. The difference between the original height and the height attained by any subsequent bounces represents the net loss of energy to entropy at that point. The energy in the system continues to dissipate until the ball lacks the energy to bounce and comes to rest on the surface. No laws are violated, but a little energy (the energy given by the experimenter to the ball originally) is lost forever. When a ball is dropped from a height, the primary force acting on it is Earth's gravity, and right before it is dropped, the ball possesses gravitational potential energy. (The gravitational potential energy is the arithmetic product of the ball's mass, the constant of acceleration due to gravity, and the ball's height: Ep = mgh.) When the ball falls freely, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (Ek = [1/2]mv2). When the ball hits the surface, its kinetic energy applies a "force of impact" on the surface, and the surface reacts with a nearly equal force of impact against the ball. Additionally, the surface and other materials involved will absorb some energy, leaving a little less energy to act upon the ball. The amount of energy absorbed by the surface depends on its nature and condition. It could be anything: loam, granite, a wooden table, ice, plastic. If the ball is a bowling ball, it might end there, with no rebound, possibly a shattered bowling ball and damage to the surface. In that case, all of the ball's kinetic energy not absorbed by the atmosphere would work to deform or crack the surface and shatter the ball. All the energy would be accounted for. But if the ball is elastic, then the side impacting the surface is compressed and deformed. If the ball is hollow, then the ball and the air inside are compressed, creating increased pressure inside the ball. The reaction to this pressure and compression is for the ball and air inside it to expand. The expansion applies force against the surface, which reacts by pushing back against the ball with force. But how much force? It cannot be the same amount of force, because energy has been lost. The surface has absorbed energy and heats up. The air has absorbed heat and sound energy. The material of the ball, which isn't close to being perfectly elastic, has absorbed energy that cannot be converted back to kinetic energy, and the air inside the ball heats up and adds heat to the material of the ball. The ball bounces and is now going up. If the ball retained all of the lost energy described above, it would rise to its starting point, but it cannot. Once again, air friction acts on the ball, the air and ball warm up, which adds to entropy and the loss of useful energy, so the ball lacks the kinetic energy required to reach its original height. That should seem no stranger than the idea (considered preposterous by Newton's contemporaries) that an object in motion tends to remain in motion -- for eternity. You could imagine such a "bouncing ball" system in your mind, and you can see that it represents a "thought experiment" in the conservation of energy. Since potential energy is directly related to the original height of the ball, if no energy is lost during the drop and rebound, then the ball must attain the original height on the rebound.
How do you compare the original height of a ball with its rebound height?
The height to which a dropped ball rebounds is typically significantly greater than the height of the ball. Also, incidentally, the height of the ball usually doesn't change during the event, and remains equal to its original height.
Is the height of a ball bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Is the height of the ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Is the height of a ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
If an elastic ball dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa at a height of 179 ft from the ground and on each rebound the ball rises at exactly one tenth of its previous height what the distance will?
198 feet 10.66 inches
Why does a tennis ball bounce higher when dropped from a greater height?
Yes. It make it bounce higher because without air it is flat so it won't bounce at all
How does the height a boucny ball is dropped from effect the height it bounces to?
The higher the height the ball is dropped from, the higher the height it will bounce to.
Is the height a ball bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?
Yes.
How is he bounce height of a ball related to the drop height?
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
If a basketball is properly inflated, it should rebound after bouncing on the ground to about one-Half the height from which it was dropped. If the ball is dropped from 20 feet, how high will it bounce back after the sixth bounce?
75%
Does the rebound height has a constant relationship with the original height of a tennis ball when released from rest and bounces on a bench?
As long as the tennis ball is not thrust downward, yes, the tennis ball will bounce back to the same proportion of its original height, no matter how far it's dropped, as long as the height is small enough that air resistance can be ignored. The ball will eventually come to rest due to this air resistance.
Will a ball bounce higher if it is dropped from a greater height?
yes up to a certain point as there is more kinetic energy involved.The height of its bounce is limited by its terminal velocity
