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.

If A rubber ball is dropped on the floor what force causes it to bounce?
kinetic and potential energy.
If i freeze a tennis ball then it will not bounce as high?
True. Freezing would compress the gas in the ball and reduce the elasticity of the rubber in it.
Song lyrics Bouncing ball bounce right back to me?
The lyric is " rubber ball, you come bouncing back to me" The song is "Rubber Ball" sung by Bobby Vee. Written by Aaron Schroeder and Ann Orlowski.
Why cant you throw a rubber ball far like a hard ball?
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.
What ball bounces higher a basketball or rubber ball?
It would depend on what you bounce them on and what material the bouncy ball is made of. Most surfaces and materials would mean the bouncy ball goes higher, but a few could result in the golf ball being better.
Why would a big rubber band ball bounce higher than a small rubber band ball?
it has more elasticity and potential energy
What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?
A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
What is the thing that makes a rubber ball bounce?
Gravity
What makes a golf ball bounce high?

Does a glass ball bounce higher tha a rubber ball?
No, the glass ball would probably break. And the rubber ball allows for an elastic collision.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
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.
Which ball bounce more tennis ball baseball cricket ball or rubber ball?
It's tennis ball.
What is a rubber band ball?
It is a ball of rubber bands. You wrap more and more on to it.
How many rubber bands were there in the world's largest rubber band ball?
The world's largest rubber band ball weighs over 3120 lbs. If you want to know more about the world's largest rubber band ball, type in recordball in the search bar. Hope i helped!
Does heat change the bounce of a ball?
Yes, it makes the rubber ball a little softer and therefore a bit bouncier. In the cold the rubber is cold so it will not bounce as high. -competitive tennis player
How do you inflate a rubber ball?
If it is a solid rubber ball it is not inflated. A hollow ball can be inflated. The more pressure inside, the "harder" the ball will be and the higher it will bounce. To much pressure and you risk rupturing the "rubber" bladder.
