The higher the height the ball is dropped from, the higher the height it will bounce to.
Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
Gravity, air resistance, the material of the ball, and the height from which it was dropped initially.
yes
Yes, assuming the ball has elasticity and you haven't exceeded the height where the ball, when dropped, reaches terminal velocity.
rubber ball
The most massive one. That's PROBABLY the bowling ball.

the fourth hit will be approx 1.4 metres
It all depends on the height the ball has been dropped and the weight of the ball.
The simple answer to this is that the rubber ball is more 'elastic' than the tennis ball and, assuming they are both dropped from the same height onto the same surface, the tennis ball 'loses' more energy than the rubber ball when it strikes the surface the ball is bouncing off. Of course no energy is truly ever lost but rather it is transferred or converted into other forms, in this case the energy will be converted into thermal energy (as the balls deform upon striking the surface due to friction within the materials), sound (the noise you hear when the ball strikes the surface) and to varying extents energy is transferred to the surface which the balls are striking. This energy 'loss' is the reason why the balls do not return to the height the balls were dropped from originally and the amount of energy 'loss' will vary with the type of ball dropped.
