If the collision involving the ball hitting the ground was perfectly elastic (the system's energy is conserved) then the ball would return to it's original height. However, this is a "perfect world" situation, since no collision can be completely elastic (except for on the atomic scale, but that is another topic). Energy is lost by the friction of the ground, sound, air resistance etc...

You can use the displacement formula. Height = 9.8*t(squared)/2. This will be the height in meters. 9.8 is acceleration due to gravity on earth. t is the time it took for the ball to hit the ground. Times by 3.3 to get it in feet.

How does the drop-height affect the number of times the bouncy ball bounces?

The higher the boiuncy ball is the more times if u do it with a small bouncy ball but if you do it with a big bouncy ball it will stay the same ever time u go up in height. The smaller the bouncy ball the more times it will bounce at a higher drop-height but if you try it with a big bounce ball it will still the same number of times each time you go up in inches


Will different heights affect the bounce of the ball?

The height you drop the ball from will affect the bounce height this is because as the drop height increases so does the bounce height it is all to do with energy transfers. Also the waste energy is the sound and heat energy hope this helps.


Does drop-height affect how many times a bouncy ball will bounce?

yes


Does the temperature of a ball affect how high it bounces?

The mocules for cold air are slower so it makes it not bounce as high and the normal temperature bounces higher.


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

yes


What is the bounce height for a 3.5 meter drop?

Impossible to answer without knowing the characteristics of the item dropped. A Super Ball bounces nearly as high as the drop height, a good quality steel spring a bit less, and a baseball much less.


Does the mass of the ball affect how high it bounces?

a ball can never bounce over the height from which it was bounced unless u aplly a force. The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're one; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces. weight also affect the bounce height.


When you drop the ball from the height that is periodic motion are not with explain?

When you drop a ball from a height, that is NOT periodic motion.Periodic motion is motion that repeats, with a regular time interval between repetitions.If the ball hits the floor and bounces several times, that will resemble motion that isnearly periodic. But it will not really be periodic, because the time between bounceswill keep shrinking, as the ball loses energy with each bounce.


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

Because there is more pressure pushing onto it


Will a ball of glass Bounce higer then a ball of Rubber?

it is scientifically proven that a ball of glass bounces higher than a ball of rubber. No cause the glass would break if you drop it to high and the rubber one would not ! It depends on wether or not your counting the height the shards fly up.


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
