When the ball hits the floor, the ground exerts a force to slow it down to a stop.
The top of the ball isn't being pushed by the floor to the same extent, so travels a little bit closer to the floor than it would do if it were just placed on the floor.
The ball, now, is squashed very slightly; so to go back to being spherical, it has to extend in the direction is was squashed in. This means it exerts a force both directly up, on the air, and directly down, on the floor.
This force makes it jump back up again. The height it jumps back depends on how bouncy the ball is, so how elastic the collision with the floor is.

Why do balls bounce?
Balls bounce because of the conservation of energy. When the ball is pressed down, energy is stored in it due to compression. Upon release, this stored energy is transferred into kinetic energy, causing the ball to spring back up.
A person standing on the roof of a building throws a rubber ball down with a velocity of 8?
The ball will accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity. As the ball falls, its velocity will increase, reaching a maximum at the point of impact with the ground. The rubber ball will bounce back up after hitting the ground but not to the same height as it was initially thrown from.
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.
How you can trafer the energy from when the ball is thrown to when the ball reaches the highest height and finally as the ball falls down to the ground?
When the ball is thrown, energy is transferred from the person's muscles to the ball, giving it kinetic energy. As the ball reaches the highest height, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy due to the upward motion against gravity. When the ball falls back down, this potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the ball accelerates downward due to gravity.
When you bounce a ball why do the particles on the floor bounce up with it?
Conservation of momentum. When the ball bounces off the ground, the momentum of the ball is conserved, and since it bounces back up, the ground has to go down. On a hard concrete surface, which is very rigid, the ball moves a large portion of heavy concrete only a minute amount. On a wood or matted floor, only the ground right around the ball goes down (because the material is somewhat elastic/flexible). The particles either appear to jump because the ground is lowering, or they are flung upwards when the ground reverts back to its normal shape.

What is hockey Sack?
Hacky sack is a soft ball you bounce up & down off your foot. It was a fad a while back.
Can things bounce down?
Yes, if you throw a ball at the ceiling it bounces down

Ball bouncing dynamics?
There are many sports that use a ball, believe it or not but balls have a long history and can be used in various ways. Bouncing is basically the main source to a ball. The question is "what makes a ball bounce". Let's say you were to drop a ball in slow motion, video tape it, or watch the ball closely, you would actually see the ball change its shape. When the ball hits the ground it flattens. Then when the ball comes up it returns to its original shape, this is because of forces and energy. When you drop a ball gravity pulls it toward the floor, the ball gains energy of motion, acknowledged as kinetic energy. When the ball hits the floor and stops that energy has to go "somewhere." The energy goes into deforming the ball-from its original round shape to a squashed shape. When the ball deforms its molecules are stretched apart in certain places, but in other places the molecules are squeezed together. I believe that other than gravity the ball bouncing flat is what helps the ball bounce back up. Does how much air that is in a ball change how high, low, fast, or slow the ball bounces? How much air in a ball does have a great affect on the ball. If you have no air in your ball, how will it bounce back up? When you let the ball go to hit the ground the ball is suppose to bounce back up, but if you have "no'' air in your ball and you let it go the ball might change the shape but it wouldn't bounce back up to you. If you were to have a lot of air in your ball then when you are letting the ball go, the ball will bounce back up and down, a lot of the times a human only has to bounce a ball once for it to bounce at least 3-6 times on its own.

How does gravity affect the bounce of a basketball?
Gravity affects the bounce of a basketball because if there is gravity, the basketball will come back down after it bounces. But if there is no gravity, the basketball will bounce and travel indefinitely upwards and never come back down until a gravitational force pulls the basketball towards it.
What happens when a falling down ball hits the ground?
When a falling ball hits the ground, it experiences a sudden change in momentum and kinetic energy. The impact causes the ball to bounce back up due to the conservation of energy and momentum.
Do all balls bounce and why?
All balls will bounce based on the surface you bounce it on. Even a bowling ball will bounce at least a centimeter or half a centimeter even though it is hard to determine whether it is getting off the ground or not. Of course it wont bounce if you bounce it on something soft and break through, but it will bounce on a hard cement floor. It will bounce because it will have potential energy weighing it down and if the floor is harder than the ball, the ball will move off like opposite sides of a magnet. but only for a while until our gravity pulls it down and stops it. Hope that helped.
What is the energy transformation that occurs when you toss a fall upward and it falls?
When you toss a ball upward, the initial energy transformation is from mechanical energy (kinetic energy) to potential energy as the ball gains height. As the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
