Yes. Under ideal circumstances - no air resistance, elastic collision (i.e., perfect bounce), the ball should bounce back to the same height from which it was dropped, due to conservation of energy. In practice, some energy is always lost, both due to air resistance and to a non-perfect bounce.

How does the height a boucny ball is dropped from effect the height it bounces to?

The higher the height the ball is dropped from, the higher the height it will bounce to.


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.


Why does the height of a ball decrease the more it bounces?

Because of the friction between earth and ball ,between air and ball


If a ball is dropped from a height of 100m each time it hits the ground it bounces 3 5ths of the height it fell How far will the ball have traveled in the 5th bounce?

89


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.


A ball is dropped from a height of 128 meters Each time the all bounces to half of its previous height After one bounce the ball readches a height of 64 meters How high did the ball reach after the 7?

1 metre


Why does a ball never bounces back to the same height that it was dropped from?

Gravity pulls it back to earth. The gravitational pull isn't strong enough to keep the ball from bouncing but it can limit the height.


How does temperature affect the height that a dropped ball bounces?

When the ball is at a low temperature, the molecules are not flexible and bounce only to a small height. On the other hand, if the ball is warm or at a higher temperature, it will bounce longer heights.


If a basketball is properly inflated, it should rebound after bouncing on the ground to about one-Half the height from which it was dropped. If the ball is dropped from 20 feet, how high will it bounce back after the sixth bounce?

75%


What factors affect the bounce of a dropped ball?

The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include...... the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're on ; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces.


What is the record for the most consecutive golf ball bounces?

I think it is like 6 or something like that.
