If the ball is lighter than the hard ball, then it is because a heavier ball has more force when moving at the same speed as a lighter ball.

If they weigh the same, then it is because in some instances, with certain materials, a hard ball with a lot of "ping" to it will bounce further than a rubber ball, due to motive energy being converted to heat in the polymers of the rubber ball, thus decreasing the total motive energy.

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and it comes back to you?

In order to throw a snowball as hard as you can and it come back to you, you must throw the snowball straight up into the air.


What happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?

Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.


Why is a smooth rubber ball able to spin easier in water than a tennis ball?

A smooth rubber ball spins easier in water than a tennis ball due to differences in surface texture and friction. The smooth surface of the rubber ball creates less resistance against the water, allowing for smoother rotation. In contrast, the fuzzy surface of a tennis ball increases drag and turbulence, making it harder for the ball to spin efficiently in water. Additionally, the weight distribution and density of the rubber ball may also play a role in its ease of spinning compared to a tennis ball.


What makes a marble bounce?

It all depends on what surface it bounces on.Either the ball or the surface changes shape. A rubber ball changes it's shape, but a marble changes the shape of the surface it bounces on. And if the change is only temporary, it snaps back to it's original shape, and the ball bounces.But some energy is lost in the process, and the ball bounces lower each time.Generally a hard surface will make a hard ball bounce higher, since they hardly change shape, and they keep more of their energy. So on an ideal surface a marble would bounce higher than a rubber ball, as long as it doesn't break.Check out liquid metal: http://www.liquidmetal.com/media/ball_bounce_DSL.wmvSkrommel


What is a responding dependent variable?

In any science investigation you have independent (also called manipulated) variables and dependent (also called responding) variables. If you use a certain independent variable, then you will get a certain dependent variable. Consider throwing a ball into the air. How high the ball goes is a dependent variable. What does it depend on? It depends on the independent variables like how hard you throw, how heavy the ball is, how big the ball is, etc.

Will a rubber ball bounce higher on tile or carpet?

Probably tile. It all depends on how hard you throw it and the weak/strong points of the tile or carpet.


How does a rubber ball bounce so high?

A rubber ball bounces high because of its elastic properties. When the ball hits a hard surface, it compresses and stores potential energy. This energy is then released as the ball rebounds, causing it to bounce back up to a certain height.

What are the physics involved with skipping a water polo ball?

Well when you throw the ball you need to throw it quite hard and spin the ball backwards and throw it down. If you throw it too flat then it will merely skim the surface, instead of skipping it. Some people find it easier to use a flat ball, like myself.
