Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet every bounce sends the ball half as high as it was before what is the total vertical distance the ball has traveled?
After bouncing 7 times the answer is 196.26feet.
Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet what is the vertical up and down height on the fourth bounce?
The ball will jump up and down but with reduced height after every bounce due to damping. Damping means loss of energy due to external factors. In this case some amount of energy is lost due to sound produced when hitting the floor and also due to some air resistance. So u need to know the damping constant for this motion. It is a complicated problem. BUT if u neglect all external factors the collision with ground is elastic for any bounce the height will be same!
What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?
A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.
Why do rubber balls bounce?
Explanation: When all three balls are dropped from the same height, the rubber ball will bounce the highest because it has the greatest elasticity. When the rubber ball hits the ground it gets compressed, or squished, and because it is very elastic, it quickly returns to its original shape.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.

Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball

Dose the temperature of a RUBBER bouncy ball effect the height of the bounce?
Yes it does. If the rubber is to cold the molecules in the rubber will not deflect "spring" allowing. If the rubber is to hot then those same molecules are to far apart to interact with each other in an optimal way.

Does heating a rubber ball cause it to bounce higher?
There is no doubt any rubber ball will have an optimum "bounce" temperature and it is unlikely this is room temperature. it could in fact be cooler. It is well known squash balls are warmed up before being used, so it is likely warming bouncy balls up will make them bounce more.
Will a ball of glass Bounce higer then a ball of Rubber?
it is scientifically proven that a ball of glass bounces higher than a ball of rubber. No cause the glass would break if you drop it to high and the rubber one would not ! It depends on wether or not your counting the height the shards fly up.
Why is rubber used on the outside of balls?
To make them bounce.
What is the thing that makes a rubber ball bounce?
Gravity
