Its GREATLY affected by the surface it bounces on!
If you bounce it on a soft or cushioned surface like a shag carpet, the carpet will absorb a lot of the impact, and the ball will not bounce as high.
On the other hand, if you bounce it on concrete, the ball's fall is not cushioned nearly as much, and as a result, bounces much higher.
The harder the surface the longer the bounce.
It all depends on what surface it bounces on.Either the ball or the surface changes shape. A rubber ball changes it's shape, but a marble changes the shape of the surface it bounces on. And if the change is only temporary, it snaps back to it's original shape, and the ball bounces.But some energy is lost in the process, and the ball bounces lower each time.Generally a hard surface will make a hard ball bounce higher, since they hardly change shape, and they keep more of their energy. So on an ideal surface a marble would bounce higher than a rubber ball, as long as it doesn't break.Check out liquid metal: http://www.liquidmetal.com/media/ball_bounce_DSL.wmvSkrommel
Its a fat foot ball tennis ball my balls bounce the highest
Well there are quite a lot of variables-factors- that can effect the height of a dropped ball..........such as...........the weight of the object, or ball droppedthe height in which the ball was dropped fromthe materials that make up the ball( for instance, if it were a bouncy rubber ball, then it would effect the ball's rebound)the surface that the ball hit(like if it were a slanted surface the ball would launch diagonally and wouldn't go as high)and also the force in which the ball was thrown or dropped could possibly affect the ball's rebound.
It would depend on what you bounce them on and what material the bouncy ball is made of. Most surfaces and materials would mean the bouncy ball goes higher, but a few could result in the golf ball being better.
A hot ball would bounce higher than a cold ball because it is more flexible and compresses more than a cold ball on impact. This means that at the moment the ball is stationary, before bouncing up, the ball has more energy stored - much like a spring - allowing the ball to propell itself upwards with a higher force. The hot ball will reach a point, however, where it will either become sticky or lose its rigidity so much that it won't return to normal after impact. Beyond this point the ball will bounce less and eventually not at all. So a bit of rigidity is important for a ball to bounce, but too much is not good! A hot ball bounces higher than a cold ball because all the rubber and molecules are frozen and wont work well Also, to improve,it's because hot water has more pressure in it. If the ball has more pressure in it, the surface of the ball becomes really hard and super bouncy.
Yes. Let's say it bounces on cement. It bounces high and hits the surface perfectly. However, if you were to bounce it on something like carpet, it would either bounce less high, or not bounce at all. This would be due to the fact that the carpet has padding so the ball would not be able to push off of a hard surface because carpet isn't usually hard.
A soccer ball bounces as the air particles in them hit and apply pressure at the ball, when it hits a surface, the pressure from the particles apply a force on the ball. Thus, making it bounce.
A ball has two general motions: it rolls (rotating change in location, to roll) and bounces (rebounds from a surface, to bounce).

Because the hard surface doesn't absorb any of the energy of the tennis ball - thus the ball bounces higher than if it was dropped on a softer surface.
No ball bounces higher than others. There are different ball for different surfaces and it depends on what surface you are on (clay, hard, or grass). The ball will bounce higher on hard then it does on clay or grass. -tennis player
The combination of the material properties of a ball (surface textures, actual materials, amount of air, hardness/ softness, and so on) affects the height of its bounce.
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.
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.
Tennis balls are affected by the environment in a few ways. The environment can affect how it bounces. Warm air makes the ball expand causing it to have a higher bounce. Cold air makes the ball contract and can make it harder to bounce.
Yes... If the surface is smooth, then the ball should bounce fine but if the surface is rough the ball will bounce all over the place.
