How high will a soaking tennis ball bounce?
A soaking tennis ball won't bounce high because it has become water-logged
Does the age of a tennis ball affect its bounce?
Question: Does the age of a tennis ball affect its bounce? Answer: The age of a tennis ball does not necessarily effect its bounce. A new tennis ball in a pressurized container will remain in a relatively new state and have the same approximate bounce for as long as the pressure inside the container remains constant; this is true whether the tennis balls were made a week ago or a year ago. What will effect the bounce of a tennis ball is prolonged crushing, excessive striking, or anything else which results in a pressure decrease on the inside of the tennis ball. A new can of tennis ball should be squeezed to test the pressure inside the container. An unopened can of tennis ball which is easily squeezed will contain tennis balls with reduced pressure; of course, this will depend upon how long ago the pressure in the container has been reduced. A tennis ball has a fuzzy outer layer. Anything which causes this fuzzy layer to change can effect the bounce of the tennis ball. Normal tennis play causes a thinning of the fuzz on the outer surface of a tennis ball. The fuzzy layer can absorb water, mud, and other foreign materials or substances which act to increase the weight of the ball and effect its bounce. Randy Lynn Rutledge - author of Fix Your Tennis
Can a ball bounce on water?
Some balls can bounce on water. It is known that all balls can float on water due to the amount of air they have inside. No, balls do not bounce on water, they may move/jump from force, but this is not really bouncing. Think of it this way, the lighter the ball the easier to move, hope that helps!
Which tennis ball bounce higher a frozen one or a unfrozen one?
Technically, a frozen tennis ball will not bounce well because of the temperature. The elasticity is one of the factors in which a ball bounces and when things are colder, there isn't as much elasticity, so it will not bounce as well. Therefore, a dry ball (as long as it wasn't frozen in a container) will bounce better than a frozen one.
How does water damage tennis balls?
I think water doesn't really damage tennis balls; rather, it just mattes their fabric.
How come some soccer balls bounce higher than others?
Tennis balls are porous, and will allow water to seep in. The water adds too much weight to the tennis ball, causing it to be too heavy to bounce, in addition to ruining the outer surface of the tennis ball.
What does water polo and tennis have in common?
both have balls
What physical property can we use to separate tennis balls from rocks?
The density of tennis balls is approx. 0,38 g/cm3 an can float on water.
Does mud on a tennis ball affect the height of its bounce?
not as far as you know is not a good answer because it does not explain. the mud will make the tennis ball heavier and denser if it has water in it the ball heavy wont go far for its bounce.
Why don't balls bounce on liquids?
They do when you throw them hard enough. The elasticity of water depends on the speed of impact.
Does a tennis ball lose its bounce quicker when its wet?
Yes it does, the water accumulates in the ball, which causes it to get heavier and therefore doesn't bounce as high as a normal tennis ball. The ball also tends to slide on the courts when the ball hits the surface when hit with pace.
Does water affect a tennis ball?
A wet tennis ball is a ruined tennis ball. It does not bounce as high. You can dry a tennis ball quickly by hitting it against a chain-link fence repidly for a little while. Once the ball is dry, then you can use it again.
