If 100 percent of the balls kinetic energy were converted back to potential energy how high would the ball bounce?
The ball would bounce back to where it was dropped.
When you drop a ball why does it bounce lower and lower?
Because with each bounce it loses energy.
What kind pf a ball doesnt bounce?
Any ball with sufficiently low coefficient of restitution will not bounce (a ball of clay or putty for example.
Will different heights affect the bounce of the ball?
The height you drop the ball from will affect the bounce height this is because as the drop height increases so does the bounce height it is all to do with energy transfers. Also the waste energy is the sound and heat energy hope this helps.
Why do balls bounce?
The balls bounce because gravity is what pulls the falling ball towards the ground! As it falls the ball gains energy from its movement
How does carpet absorb energy from a ball?
Carpet absorbs energy from a ball because the carpet absorbs more kinetic energy. The energy that is absorbed doesn't allow the ball to bounce.
What type of energy allows a rubber ball to bounce higher than a plastic ball?
bouyancy.
How does the height of a ball affect the height of its bounce?
the potential energy gets changed into kinetic energy so when it hits the ground it will bounce back up.
Why is the first bounce of the ball the highestand subsequent bounces get lower?
Energy (internal friction) losses at each bounce.
Why doesn't a bouncy ball bounce as high as from where it was dropped?
Because some of the energy is lost in the bounce the air Resistance and gravity fighting to get the ball back to the ground while it is coming up. However if you throw it down hard enough theoretically it is possible to get the ball to bounce back all the way. this would be because extra energy has been put into the ball enabling it to get back.
What energy transformation happens when you bounce a ball?
Kinetic energy is transformed in Potential elastic and back.
Describe the energy transformation that occur when you bounce a ball?
When the ball hits the ground, kinetic energy is turned into potential energy and stored momentarily as the ball compresses. As the ball rebounds, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy. Some energy is also lost in the form of heat and air waves (sound). This continues with each bounce and due to the loss of energy, the ball gradually stops bouncing.
