Where can i get a phone case that bounces when you drop it?

lol, are you over protective or something? Well, there is no phone case that bounces when you drop it. A phone case will not bounce when you drop it, but it will protect your phone though.


When you drop a golf ball to the pavement it bounces up?

yes


What bounced higher a handball or a basketball?

drop both at the same time and you will know the answer.


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.


Why is it that the higher you drop a ball the higher it bounces?

Because there is more pressure pushing onto it


How and when do you do drop testing?

"Drop testing should be done when you want to determine the condition of paintballs. Paintballs that are too hard may not break when shot and bounce off the target. Paintballs that are too brittle may explode while in the barrel of the gun. To perform the test pick a random paintball from the bag and drop it onto a hard surface from about six feet high. Catch the paintball after it bounces once. Repeat this until the paintball break. This should be done with several balls in the bag, taking the average of bounces until the ball breaks. An average less than three bounces means the the paintballs are too hard, more than five means they are too brittle."


If you drop a rubber ball on the floor it bounces back up what force acts on the ball to provide the bounce?

gravity, compretion

How does surface tension tend to minimize the surface area of the drop?

Surface tension is the result of cohesive, inter-molecular bonding amongst molecules of the same kind on the surface of the drop. They essentially are attracted by each other from the side and below, pulling each other tighter together. As a result, the entire drop begins to constrict into a spherical shape in hopes of trying to reduce surface stress caused by such tension at the surface by minimizing the surface area of the entire drop. A smaller surface area of the drop means the less number of molecules exist at the surface to be tuged and taunt by its neighbors. All liquids try to achieve minimum surface area because it is the most stable configuration.


what is the pull on the surface of liquids that allows liquids to form drop when they fall?

It is surface tension.
