Want this question answered?
Think of it like this, if you pick up a ball that you drop on the floor, and squeeze that ball, if it is made out of a material like rubber, it is easy to squeeze, therefor it will bounce high. If the ball is made out of steel, then I personaly could not be able to squeeze it and it won't bounce very high or not bounce at all.
There are several variables in this problem. Different balls have different degrees of elasticity. And then there are different kinds of surfaces on which balls can bounce. A ball does not bounce the same way on a grass lawn that it does on a concrete floor. Also the description "high in the air" is not precise. Different heights can produce different numbers of bounces.
The harder you bounce the ping pong ball the higher it goes........the softer you bounce a ping pong ball the shorter it bounces. You control the heighth.
The ball would bounce back to where it was dropped.
No ( uh, the usuals)
A basketball will bounce more on concrete because it is a flatter surface then carpet and grass
Although it's difficult to be precise, it's safe to say that a ball is likely to bounce back higher from concrete than from carpet.

High
bounce a ball and you'll find out

Not to any appreciable extent. Bounce is caused by the elasticity of the material comprising the ball and the surface on which it is bounced.For example, on concrete a basketball will bounce higher than a baseball, but a golf ball--How high it bounces depends on how much force you exert on it. If you only let it drop, it will not bounce higher that the point you dropped it from and every time it bounces, it will go less and less high. anyway, the bigger the ball, the more force you will have to exert on it to make it bounce higher than the point it was dropped, or "bounced" from.
If the balls weight is heavy it will not bounce as high but if the ball is lighter it will have more of a Chance to bounce higher.
Does the size of the ball determine how high the ball will bounce? I need the answer for a science project.

yes but it would bounce wikid high(no gravity)
Steel is used for its high tensile strength and the concrete is used for its high compression strength.
