Is elastic energy useful in a bouncy ball or is it wasteful?
Elastic energy is useful in a bouncy ball because it allows the ball to deform and store the energy upon impact, which is then released as the ball bounces back. This enables the ball to bounce to a certain height and continue bouncing, making it a key factor in its design.
When a ball is heated will the expansion be permanent?
That depends on the material from which the ball is made, if this material is elastic then no.
Examples of elastic to elastic energy?
Stretching a rubber band or spring stores elastic potential energy that can be released when the band or spring snaps back to its original shape. Compressing a tennis ball or squeezing a stress ball stores elastic potential energy that can be released when the ball returns to its original shape.
How does elastic energy affect a bouncing ball?
When a ball bounces, elastic potential energy is stored in the ball as it gets compressed upon hitting the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the ball rebounds off the ground, causing it to bounce back up. The more elastic the ball, the higher it will bounce as it can better convert the stored potential energy back into kinetic energy.
When a ball is dropped and bounces back to its original height what kind of collision is happening between the ball and the ground?
Since no energy was lost, we can conclude that it was an elastic collision.
Is it an elastic or inelastic collision when someone spikes a volleyball?
Hopfully elastic because otherwise the ball would be stuck to the hand.
What potential energy does a squashed ball have?
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.
Why does a ball bounce back up when it is dropped to the ground?
Because it is elastic, so little energy is lost in the impact . The kinetic energy it has immediately before impact is temporarily stored in the ball as potential energy, then released when the elastic material reforms into its previous shape.
How would test the notion that a steel ball is elastic?
One way to test if a steel ball is elastic would be to drop it from a certain height onto a hard surface and measure how high it bounces back. If the ball retains most of its original height, it is likely elastic. Additionally, you could apply a known force to the ball and measure how much it deforms, then release the force to see if the ball returns to its original shape.
How does the tempoure of a ball effactus how hi it bounce?
The temperature of a ball can affect how high it bounces because it can impact the elasticity of the ball material. When the ball is colder, it tends to become harder and less elastic, leading to lower bounce height. Conversely, when the ball is warmer, it becomes more elastic, resulting in a higher bounce.
Why does bouncing ball bounces back whereas a cricket ball don't?
It's because the surface area of a bouncing ball is more and it is thickly elastic
What core type in a golf ball bounces higher?
The one with elastic bands in it
