True. Freezing would compress the gas in the ball and reduce the elasticity of the rubber in it.

Why would a hot ball bounce higher than a cold ball?

A hot ball would bounce higher than a cold ball because it is more flexible and compresses more than a cold ball on impact. This means that at the moment the ball is stationary, before bouncing up, the ball has more energy stored - much like a spring - allowing the ball to propell itself upwards with a higher force. The hot ball will reach a point, however, where it will either become sticky or lose its rigidity so much that it won't return to normal after impact. Beyond this point the ball will bounce less and eventually not at all. So a bit of rigidity is important for a ball to bounce, but too much is not good! A hot ball bounces higher than a cold ball because all the rubber and molecules are frozen and wont work well Also, to improve,it's because hot water has more pressure in it. If the ball has more pressure in it, the surface of the ball becomes really hard and super bouncy.


Why does a rubber band ball bounce?

Many, or most objects will bounce given the right environment.For example, a rock will bounce, although not very well.Dead Blow Hammers are somewhat unique with moving particles inside that are designed to help prevent bouncing.Bouncing are augmented by lasticity of the surface with a strong force to return to the original shape.Rubber has high elasticity, and returns to its original shape with a strong force.Thus a rubber band ball, made up almost entirely of rubber should bounce reasonably well.I was going to suggest low weight. But, weight in movement is momentum, and the momentum would be conserved with a good bounce.Note, a flat ball will tend to absorb the impact of the bounce, rather than reflecting it back (does not return to its original shape), and thus does not bounce well.


Which brand of golf ball bounces the highest?

Oh, dude, you're really asking the hard-hitting questions here. Technically speaking, golf balls aren't really designed to bounce super high since they're meant for, you know, golfing. But if you're looking for a brand that might give you a little extra bounce, maybe check out some of those fancy, high-tech ones with a bit more elasticity. Just don't expect them to outperform a good ol' rubber ball anytime soon.


What the measurements of a ping pong table?

Diameter of the ping pong ball should be 40 mm and the weight should be 2.7 gram. The ping pong ball must have 0.4 coefficient of restitution. Depending on the bounce, roundness and consistency of the ping pong ball, single star, two star or three star ratings are marked on the ball. A ball with a three star rating normally implies highest quality ball. www.amworld.info


Scientific reasons for 1st year physics?

In the game of cricket,why it is easy to catch a ball of high trajectory? As the path of ball is a projectile so in the case of high trajectory the angle of projection is high and time of flight is higher which ease to observe and catch the ball.

Does a tennis ball lose its bounce quicker when its wet?

Yes it does, the water accumulates in the ball, which causes it to get heavier and therefore doesn't bounce as high as a normal tennis ball. The ball also tends to slide on the courts when the ball hits the surface when hit with pace.

Should to around 75% of the height that you drop it from.


Will a basketball or tennis ball bounce higher with more air?

i know that a basketball will because if it has nothing in it, it won't bounce. right? but when you put more helium in, it will bounce high. but if you put to much in it, it might explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How high will a tennis ball bounce from 5 ft?

well, it all depends on how dead or new the ball is. If it is fresh, it will bounce about 3 1/2 feet.


What effect does the nap felt-yellow fuzz have on how high a tennis ball will bounce?

The more fuzz, the less bounce. The less fuzzy, the higher the bounce.


Does a tennis ball bounce higher when it is warmer or colder?

Hot. Personal experiments have shown that temperatures below 25°C make the ball bounce less. From 25°C and upwards there aren't any greater changes in height of bounce. The balls bounce almost the same.


Why does a heated tennis ball bounce really high?

Tennis balls have pressured air inside of them from the manufacturer. This air on days with higher temperatures will increase and expand this internalized pressure of the ball, thus making the ball more solid and hard. This increases the "bounce" of the ball
