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.
When a ball is dropped what type of energy increases?
elastic potential
Can elastic spring force ct from a distance?
No
What is the snapping back of deformed rocks to its previous shape?
Elastic rebound
Why could you not use an elastic tape to measure distance what would be some of the problems you would face in telling someone about the distance you measured with an elastic tape?
The name of her.
What elastic potential energy depends on?
Elastic potential energy depends on the distance the object is compressed or stretched.
The snapping back of deformed rock to its previous shape is called .?
Elastic rebound
What is the snapping back of deformed rock to its previous shape called?
Elastic rebound
Why could you not use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance?
Because it will stretch and be incorrect.If we use an elastic measuring tape to measuredistance, it may stretch while measuring the distance,thus the measurement will be incorrect.
What kind of ball bounces most when dropped at hard surface?
One made of dense but highly-elastic material.
Why does a ball bounce when it is left to fall freely or when it is thrown with a velocity?
When it hits the floor it deforms. Because it is elastic, its deformation results in a force pushing upward. That force eventually brings it to a stop, but it is still deformed and so the force is still operating. That force then causes it to accelerate in the opposite direction. Similarly, the floor is also deforming, although usually much less. If both the ball and the floor are perfectly elastic, then the ball will accelerate to exactly the same speed as it was going when it hit the floor, and it will therefore bounce to the same height it was dropped from. However no substance is perfectly elastic and some energy will be lost as heat and sound. Example of a very elastic collision: a steel ball-bearing dropped onto concrete. Example of a very non-elastic collision: a lump of jelly dropped onto carpet.
If a spring is not a simple machine what is it?
It is a device that can store elastic energy. It is not a machine, which changes force and distance and/or direction.
