What is meant by elastic?

I am not sure what you mean by your question. I am assuming that you are asking is anything elastic good? Yes and no, it is all according what you want to use elastic for. In bungy jumping elastic will stretch so far then want to return to its original state, which is good for the bungy jumper. Because it has a desire to want to return to its original state it can act like a shock absorber on a car. Elastic waste bands on trouser does away with a belt. Though it will loose its elastcity in time it would be sensible to have a belt handy.


What is the weight of a squash ball?

since there are two different types of squash ball, they weigh in different but usually around the 125 - 175g. when heated a squash ball also bounces higher because its elastcity has been increased, whereas if it was frozen the opposite would occur. squash balls don't bounce very high either, this is due to their coefficient of restitution being low, meaning that they conserve much of their energy so that they travel faster and harder when hit making squash a fasst paced and high energy game.
