Best Answer

It is not a law of motion that states this. If there was no friction or elastic losses the ball could go on bouncing. It is the slight loss of energy every time the ball bounces, due to compression of the ball and friction between it and the surface, that gradually causes its energy to be given up to the environment.

What are the Theories of motion?

Newton came up with three laws of motion. The first states that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless influenced by an unbalanced force. The second law states that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The third law is well-known and states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


When we hit a wall why don't we bounce back as Newtons third law states?

Newton's 3rd law doesn't state anything of the kind. The reason we don't bounce back from a wall is because we're sort of inelastic. We do "bounce back" to a certain extent, but not the same way a rubber ball does.
