kinetic and potential energy.
When the door closed behind me, I realized that I had dropped my keys; I turned around to see them through the glass on the floor behind the locked door.
Well there are quite a lot of variables-factors- that can effect the height of a dropped ball..........such as...........the weight of the object, or ball droppedthe height in which the ball was dropped fromthe materials that make up the ball( for instance, if it were a bouncy rubber ball, then it would effect the ball's rebound)the surface that the ball hit(like if it were a slanted surface the ball would launch diagonally and wouldn't go as high)and also the force in which the ball was thrown or dropped could possibly affect the ball's rebound.
If you dropped a piece of popcorn on the floor, it would stay there until something moved it or picked it up. This does not apply to things in a vauum.

When walking on a wet floor, take slow and deliberate steps to maintain your balance. Keep your feet flat and use a wider stance to increase stability. Avoid sudden movements and try to keep your center of gravity low. If possible, look for areas with better traction, such as rubber mats, to minimize the risk of slipping.
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
you first have to get rubber and glue it on your floor and you have a rubber floor
higher on a hard floor...the rug will absorb the bounce
Probably a golf ball, it is a lot denser. If you dropped a golf ball on a concrete floor it would bounce, if you drop a brick it will break.
When a ball is dropped on the floor, it compresses briefly upon impact. This compression stores potential energy, which is then released as kinetic energy when the ball bounces back up. The elastic properties of the ball allow it to return to its original shape and bounce back up.
Think about a rubber ball bouncing in slow motion. It hits the floor, the ball changes shape - the bottom flattens a little bit as it continues to press against the floor. Then it must straighten out and take it's natural shape and in doing so, pushes itself against the floor to round out again. The force of the ball taking it's round shape so quickly makes it go back up into the air again. So the harder you throw a ball down, the higher it will go up again.
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.
When it hits the floor it deforms. Because it is elastic, its deformation results in a force pushing upward. That force eventually brings it to a stop, but it is still deformed and so the force is still operating. That force then causes it to accelerate in the opposite direction. Similarly, the floor is also deforming, although usually much less. If both the ball and the floor are perfectly elastic, then the ball will accelerate to exactly the same speed as it was going when it hit the floor, and it will therefore bounce to the same height it was dropped from. However no substance is perfectly elastic and some energy will be lost as heat and sound. Example of a very elastic collision: a steel ball-bearing dropped onto concrete. Example of a very non-elastic collision: a lump of jelly dropped onto carpet.
It all depends on how much air there is inside, where you bounce it, and how you bounce it. Well if there were same amount of air, bounced on the same surface and with the same power, a rubber ball would bounce higher. But that doesn't mean a rubber basketball is simply better. People certainly would choose a leather basketball, because it looks better and has a better quality, and can last longer if played indoors. If you were looking for which is better, I would say that's totally upto you, whether you play indoors (a leather ball would be heaps better), or outdoors (a rubber ball is much better in this case). But if you were looking for which bounced higher, it is definitely rubber. This is because a rubber cover is harder than a leath covering. When something is harder, this allows to put more pressure when the ball hits the floor. This causes the ball to bounce higher.
on ps2???? if so "x"
When the ball hits the floor, it gets deformed, and the force of the ball compressing stores potential energy in the ball. This potential energy is released, causing the ball to bounce back up. This bounce-back force is a combination of the stored potential energy and the elasticity of the ball material.
Iron plates are typically denser and more durable than rubber plates. They are also more prone to rusting and can be noisier when dropped. Rubber plates are generally quieter, more floor-friendly, and provide better protection for the floor and the equipment. They are also easier to grip and handle.
