There is no doubt any rubber ball will have an optimum "bounce" temperature and it is unlikely this is room temperature. it could in fact be cooler. It is well known squash balls are warmed up before being used, so it is likely warming bouncy balls up will make them bounce more.

it is scientifically proven that a ball of glass bounces higher than a ball of rubber. No cause the glass would break if you drop it to high and the rubber one would not ! It depends on wether or not your counting the height the shards fly up.


Why do rubber balls bounce?

Explanation: When all three balls are dropped from the same height, the rubber ball will bounce the highest because it has the greatest elasticity. When the rubber ball hits the ground it gets compressed, or squished, and because it is very elastic, it quickly returns to its original shape.


Does temperature affect the bounce of a rubber ball?

Temperature does not affect the bounce of a rubber ball. Let's say you bounce a rubber ball on the grass. The result will be different then bouncing a rubber ball on a concrete surface. The result is different because you are using a solid, hard surface to bounce the ball with. But the temperature will not affect the bounce of a rubber ball. you can test it out for youself.


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.


Can lowering springs cause bounce?

Heating a constant volume make its pressure higher why?

When you heat atoms or molecules, you cause them to move more quickly; that is what heat is, the average kinetic energy of the constituent particles. And when they move more quickly they bounce off the walls of their container with more force, thus exerting more pressure.


What is the independent variable Will more air in a basketball make it bounce higher?

Yes it will because the pressure in the ball will push it up and down


How high do bouncy balls bounce?

the ball bounce high cause of the air in the ball If there is more air pressure in the ball it will bounce higher likewise if there is less air pressure it will bounce lower. This could be done by exposing the ball in different temperatures. If the ball gets hotter it will bounce higher and if gets colder it will bounce lower.


How does temperature changes elastic properties of tennis ball?

If the weather is cold the ball may harden and become stiff, this makes the ball have less pop and results in a slower playing ball. If the weather is warm then the ball will become more elastic and bounce higher. If the ball is sat outside for extended periods of time the constant cooling and warming of the ball will cause the rubber to lose its form and become flat with no bounce.


How would a synthesis reaction cause the mass of a product to be higher than the metal in a crucible?

Heating a metal in a crucible can cause the metal to react with the surrounding gases. thus, when weighing the metal after heating, the mass increases because of the addition of the gaseous elements
