Does a golf ball bounce higher than a basketball?

Answer 1

A Golf ball would bounce far higher than a Baseball. This is because a golf ball has been specifically designed to harness the energy it receives and get the most from it. Imagine how far a golf ball would go if you hit it with a baseball bat- pretty far, and how far a baseball would go if you hit it with a golf club-virtually no where.

Answer 2

In physics term, the Racquetball is more elastic than the baseball.

The racquetball is made mostly of rubber and is able to conserve a greater magnitude of the momentum when you drop it on the ground, which causes it to bounce back up. The baseball absorbs some of the momentum upon impact and can't bounce as high.

This is slightly similar to sound. If you're in a carpeted room with lots of furniture, sound won't echo as much as in an indoor Basketball court.

Answer 3

because a tennis ball is not used for bouncing. it's used just to hit so there for it has no reason to bounce. And also it's material is different and it does not bounce off air being inside of it. ( ha smart ain't i )

Answer 4

i think it is because of the texture of the BALL!!<:)>

Answer 5

a golf ball is filled with rubber which is more bouncier than yarn or strings on a baseball and also because of the density in the golf ball .

Answer 6

Tennis ball is hollow and lighter where as a baseball is heavier and dense.

Answer 7

because it can store more elastic potential energy

Answer 8

becuase mr feps said so
