The number of times a ball will bounce after being dropped from 200 cm will depend mostly on the material the ball is made out of and the material onto which it is dropped. Temperature will have an effect, also. Please think this through and it will make sense. A Golf ball dropped onto a concrete walkway from 200 cm will bounce more times than a superball dropped onto a down pillow. This is not meant as an insult, but as a request to think through the question.

The quality of answers to any question has a direct relationship to the quality of the question. Additionally, it is questions like this that are of supreme importance to learning because they teach critical thinking as well as physics and mathematics.

How many times will a ball bounce if it is high in the air?

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.


A ball dropped from a height of 10 meters and bounces up to a height of 7 meters Assuming that the height before each bounce remain in the same ratio after how many bounces will the ball be below 2?

After the 5th bounce, it peaks at 0.168 meter. Nice problem.


Why does a ball come to a stop when you roll it on the floor?

it bounces back Bouncing A Ball There are many types of balls in all different sizes and shapes; when these are made from some sort of natural or synthetic material and contain air or some other form of gas, they have the ability to use elastic energy to return to their original shape after being bounced, hit or squashed. This 'elastic energy' only comes into action when the ball comes in to some sort of impact with another object such as a floor. In this case it makes sense that the higher the ball is positioned in the air before it is dropped, the higher the return bounce will be after hitting the floor. This is because a tennis ball while in the air always starts with gravitational potential energy, when the ball is dropped this GPE forces it to move towards the earth. While doing so this energy is transferred into kinetic energy as it's moving through the air. When the ball hits the ground this kinetic energy is turned into elastic energy while at the same time also creating many other forms of energy such as sound, heat or friction. There is also a certain amount lost to the surface of which the ball is impacting with. All of this lost energy after the ball has gone through all of these energy transfers is the reason why the ball never reaches the height you started with before you dropped the ball; and the distance between this height and the height after the ball has bounced, accounts for all the lost energy in the process of dropping the ball. However this returning height can be changed by giving the ball a higher starting point in the first place. This gives the ball a higher GPE which will give every other type of energy this is transferred into an increased rate. This will ultimately force the bounce height of the ball higher than if it was dropped at a lower height. Therefore, as the drop-height increases, the bounce-height too will increase, but not always in direct proportion. The efficiency will decrease as the drop height is increased. This is called the coefficient of restitution.


Does the size of a ball effect how many bounces you get?

If it is hollow yes it does. The smaller the hallow ball the less air fits into it making it bounce less well. Except of course if the materials are different in which case it is possible the smaller ball would be more bouncy. The bouncier it is the more bounces you would get without it rolling.

How do you handle the ball?

You can kick it, throw it, bounce it, hit it with a racquet or a bat, juggle it and do many other actions with it.


How many times does a bowling ball roll down the lane?

In a standard 10 frame game, you get two throws per frame for frames 1 to 9. In the tenth frame, you get two throws plus a bonus throw for a total of three. The minimum number of throws would be 12, this would be in a perfect game (a 300 game). The maximum number of throws would be 21.

How many times is a volly allowed to bouns?

In traditional volleyball, the ball is not allowed to bounce. However, in a new variation called Wook ball, one bounce per possession is allowed. Further, if a pass is dropped it is considered a bounce, and is still in play if that is the first bounce of the possession.


If your golf ball is on the cart path and a drop is allowed how many times can you drop the ball?

You drop it once, if it comes to rest on the path, you drop it again, on the second drop if it comes to rest on the path you place it where the ball touched the grass first on the second drop.


How many times does a tennis ball bounce before it stops bouncing from different heights?

Ball bouncing dynamics?

There are many sports that use a ball, believe it or not but balls have a long history and can be used in various ways. Bouncing is basically the main source to a ball. The question is "what makes a ball bounce". Let's say you were to drop a ball in slow motion, video tape it, or watch the ball closely, you would actually see the ball change its shape. When the ball hits the ground it flattens. Then when the ball comes up it returns to its original shape, this is because of forces and energy. When you drop a ball gravity pulls it toward the floor, the ball gains energy of motion, acknowledged as kinetic energy. When the ball hits the floor and stops that energy has to go "somewhere." The energy goes into deforming the ball-from its original round shape to a squashed shape. When the ball deforms its molecules are stretched apart in certain places, but in other places the molecules are squeezed together. I believe that other than gravity the ball bouncing flat is what helps the ball bounce back up. Does how much air that is in a ball change how high, low, fast, or slow the ball bounces? How much air in a ball does have a great affect on the ball. If you have no air in your ball, how will it bounce back up? When you let the ball go to hit the ground the ball is suppose to bounce back up, but if you have "no'' air in your ball and you let it go the ball might change the shape but it wouldn't bounce back up to you. If you were to have a lot of air in your ball then when you are letting the ball go, the ball will bounce back up and down, a lot of the times a human only has to bounce a ball once for it to bounce at least 3-6 times on its own.
