A magnet has two poles, the north and the south. Opposite poles attract, meaning that a north pole will attract a south pole. Same poles repel; a north pole repels another north pole and a south pole repels another south pole. If two magnets attract each other, that pulls them together, and if they repel each other, that pushes them apart. That is the phenomenon that you observed, of magnets bouncing back when you try to put them together.

What part of a atom causes particles to bounce back?

The positively charged nucleus of the atom, which contains protons and neutrons, is what causes particles to bounce back due to electrostatic repulsion. When an incoming particle has the same charge as the nucleus, such as another positively charged particle, they will repel each other, causing the incoming particle to bounce back.


If you drop a ball on the floor why does it bounce back up?

When a ball is dropped on the floor, it compresses briefly upon impact. This compression stores potential energy, which is then released as kinetic energy when the ball bounces back up. The elastic properties of the ball allow it to return to its original shape and bounce back up.


Why doesn't a bouncy ball bounce as high as from where it was dropped?

Because some of the energy is lost in the bounce the air Resistance and gravity fighting to get the ball back to the ground while it is coming up. However if you throw it down hard enough theoretically it is possible to get the ball to bounce back all the way. this would be because extra energy has been put into the ball enabling it to get back.
