Soft surfaces absorb quite a lot of the energy (by deforming) that the ball uses to spring back up, whereas hard surfaces don't absorb that energy (because they don't deform), and so the energy is used to deform the ball, which is then converted back into kinetic energy and the ball bounces.
The ball is stop by soft surfaces,therefore it won't bounce as much.
The softer surfaces take up more of the balls energy than is released into a hard surface.
Well it is hard to explain but i will give it a try. It actually depends on what type of ball your talking about. Baseball, Basketball, Waffle balls, etc you looking at a bouncy ball its actually because of the rubber used when you bounce the ball hard do you here that slamming sound? That is the sound of the tiles and the ball meeting and since the tiles are a hard smooth surface rubber works well on it so that's how i think of it.
A hard surface is one which does not yield when pressed. Wood, stone and glass are hard surfaces.... rubber, fabric and foam are soft surfaces.
Friction does depend on the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together. Friction would be very minimal if the surfaces were smooth and not pushing together too hard.

Balls do not jump my friend , they bounce. The effect of this bounce depends on how hard the user threw the ball , and how hard the ball itself is. E.G - If it was Low on air , it wouldn't bounce far. E.G.2 - It was hard and had lots of ait inside , it would bounce quite a bit.
No ball bounces higher than others. There are different ball for different surfaces and it depends on what surface you are on (clay, hard, or grass). The ball will bounce higher on hard then it does on clay or grass. -tennis player
Well a golf ball won't bounce better than other golf balls it matter what is inside it. Like the proV1 has a very hard core and the NXT tour is very light in the inside and will probably bounce better if you swing fast I would recommend the proV1 but if not Get the nxt tour happy to help
Yes, the leather and cork construction of a cricket ball will bounce on a hard surface. However, pretty much everything will bounce if it's thrown hard enough
They do when you throw them hard enough. The elasticity of water depends on the speed of impact.
dont bounce it off cement or other hard rough surfaces and keep them out of the rain or wet areas.
All balls will bounce based on the surface you bounce it on. Even a bowling ball will bounce at least a centimeter or half a centimeter even though it is hard to determine whether it is getting off the ground or not. Of course it wont bounce if you bounce it on something soft and break through, but it will bounce on a hard cement floor. It will bounce because it will have potential energy weighing it down and if the floor is harder than the ball, the ball will move off like opposite sides of a magnet. but only for a while until our gravity pulls it down and stops it. Hope that helped.
I am assuming you are talking about tennis. On a grass surface, the ball will bounce fast. On clay courts, the ball will bounce slower than on grass. On a hard court, the speed of the ball bounce will be in between clay and grass.
without goin too nerd on you, It is coz of the air inside the ping pong and the plastic is very light. making it "weightless" and it can float because it is less dense than water
This is because some surfaces are soft some hard. Like wood and plastic.add. And in Football (soccer) in particular, when the ball bounces off the cross-bar and then enters the net area, the ball is back-spinning from its first contact with the cross-bar, and the ball often then bounces out of the net again! This causes much angst.
