The answer lies in co-efficient of restitution. (COR) COR is the ratio of speeds before and after impact.
Normally, it is expected that the ball should reflect off the surface with the same speed with which it strikes. However, this happens only in the case of elastic collisions.
Elastic collisions are ideal collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. COR=1. In this case, the ball bounces as high as the height from where it was thrown.
In reality however, collisions are inelastic. COR<1. K.E is not conserved. Energy is lost in other forms like heat as a result of which the ball doesn't bounce as high.

When dropped a ball rebounds to 18 of its original height. How high will the ball rebound after the 4th bounce if it dropped from the height of 32 ft?
After the first bounce, the ball will rebound to 18 ft, and after the second bounce, it will rebound to 18 * 18/32 = 10.125 ft. After the third bounce, it will rebound to 1.8 * 18 ft ≈ 3.24 ft. Therefore, after the fourth bounce, it will rebound to approximately 1.8 * 10.125 ft = 18.225 ft.
A ball is dropped from 10 feet above the ground.It hits the ground and bounces up half as high as it fellThis is true for each successive bounce.What height does the ball reach on the fourth bounce?
After each bounce, the ball reaches half of the height from which it was dropped. Since the ball was initially dropped from 10 feet, on the first bounce it will reach 5 feet, on the second bounce it will reach 2.5 feet, on the third bounce it will reach 1.25 feet, and on the fourth bounce it will reach 0.625 feet.
A ball is dropped from a height of 125m each time it hits the ground it bounces 35 of the height it fell how high will the ball bounce on the 3rd bounce?
On the third bounce, the ball will bounce to a height of 35% of the previous bounce height (35% of 35% of 125m). Therefore, the ball will bounce to a height of (35/100) x (35/100) x 125m = 15.63m on the third bounce.
What factors contribute to the bouncing of a ball?
The bouncing of a ball is influenced by factors such as the material of the ball, the surface it bounces on, the force with which it is thrown or dropped, and the elasticity of the ball. These factors determine how high the ball will bounce and how many times it will bounce before coming to a stop.
Why doesn't a ball bounce as high as dropped?
When a ball is bounced, some of the initial energy is used to deform the ball upon impact with the ground. This deformation causes some of the energy to be converted into other forms, such as heat and sound, resulting in a lower bounce height compared to the height it was dropped from.
How high will a ball bounce when dropped from 5ft?
i think it will be 35inches
Why does a bouncy ball bounce higher when dropped from a high point?
It has more pressure
If a ball is dropped from a height of 128 meters how high did the ball reach after the 7th bounce?
3 ft

How high will a basketball bounce if it is dropped 12 feet out of the air?
If properly inflated, it will bounce 8 times. Each bounce rebounds about 70%, so 14 feet on the first bounce, then about 10 on the second, etc. until the ball is bigger than the bounce.

If you drop a ball I know how high it bounces what is bounce height?
The bounce height of a ball depends on factors like the material of the ball, the surface it bounces on, and the height from which it is dropped. In general, the bounce height is typically lower than the initial drop height due to energy losses during the bounce.
Does the size of a ball effect how high it bounces?
Not to any appreciable extent. Bounce is caused by the elasticity of the material comprising the ball and the surface on which it is bounced.For example, on concrete a basketball will bounce higher than a baseball, but a golf ball--How high it bounces depends on how much force you exert on it. If you only let it drop, it will not bounce higher that the point you dropped it from and every time it bounces, it will go less and less high. anyway, the bigger the ball, the more force you will have to exert on it to make it bounce higher than the point it was dropped, or "bounced" from.
How high does a pingpong ball bounce?
A ping pong ball can bounce up to about 10 inches when dropped from a height of 12 inches. The height of the bounce can vary depending on factors such as surface texture, temperature, and air pressure.
