A ball is dropped from 10 feet above the ground.It hits the ground and bounces up half as high as it fellThis is true for each successive bounce.What height does the ball reach on the fourth bounce?
1.75 ft
How high does a golf ball bounce when dropped from 5 feet?
In the REAL World, it will bounce LESS than 5 feet. How much LESS? That depends on the Elasticity of the Collision. In a PERFECT SYSTEM, with a 100% Elastic Collision and no Frictional Losses, it would bounce (Rebound) to 5 feet...forever, over and over again.However, there is no REAL totally elastic collision in the REAL World. The Rebound Force will be LESS than the Collision Force of the Ball. This is due to Frictional Forces that cause Energy Losses in the form of HEAT in the Ball and the Floor materials.
Does the size of a bouncing ball affect how high a ball will bounce when dropped from the same height?
It does not.It will depend entirely on the elastic properties of the ball itself, in the following ways:1. elastic properties due solely to the way the ball is constructed, like a basketball, which is a bladder holding pressurized air.2. elastic properties of the materials used in its construction. The leather in a basketball, the weird plastic compounds used in a golf-ball, (among the bounciest of balls, by the way, and pretty small) etc.Every (solid) material known has a measurable "modulus of elasticity" which dictates how stretchy (or bouncy) the material is.Using this modulus, among other data, a decent math-person could calculate in advance how high ANY ball would likely bounce, before it was ever done.Also, the surface that is being bounced on has much to do with this; I'm guessing that a standard bowling-ball would bounce higher than a basketball, if dropped onto a surface comprised of solid, hard steel that was 4 feet thick.For that matter, ball bearings (very hard steel) are super-bouncy- they can bounce really high, if dropped onto a very hard, massive surface.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a ball takes 11 seconds to stop if dropped from 1 foot and 25 seconds from 2 feet how many seconds if dropped from 3 feet?
39 seconds
Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet Every bounce sends the ball half as high as it was before?
132
How high does a super ball bounce at 2 and a half feet?
Not all super balls bounce the same way. We would have to know more about the ball, such as its size and the material it's made of.
How high will a basketball bounce if it is dropped 12 feet out of the air?
If properly inflated, it will bounce 8 times. Each bounce rebounds about 70%, so 14 feet on the first bounce, then about 10 on the second, etc. until the ball is bigger than the bounce.
How high will a tennis ball bounce when dropped from 8 feet?
it depense what kind of serface it is but if its hard it will go from 6 to 7 feet
How is mathematics essential to scientific communication?
Math is used to quantify scientific observations and predictions. Ie: how high will the ball bounce when dropped from 10 feet?
If a basketball is properly inflated, it should rebound after bouncing on the ground to about one-Half the height from which it was dropped. If the ball is dropped from 20 feet, how high will it bounce back after the sixth bounce?
75%

How high will a tennis ball bounce from 5 ft?
well, it all depends on how dead or new the ball is. If it is fresh, it will bounce about 3 1/2 feet.
How high will a basketball bounce if dropped?
If we knew from what height the ball, when dropped, would reach its terminal velocity, and if we knew the percentage of rebound the ball would give, we could then be certain. I can only guess that a basketball will rebound approximately 75% of the height from which it is dropped, and if the height at which it would reach terminal velocity is maybe 300 feet, the ball would bounce back up to 225 feet. Just a guess! A basketball has an elasticity (or "bounciness") of about 56 percent.I'm not sure there's a theoretical limit. In practice, of course, there would be one: when the velocity of the ball impacting the ground is so great the ball explodes rather than bouncing. But you'd have to fire it out of some kind of basketball cannon to get it moving that fast.The official standard for ball inflation is that the ball should bounce roughly 75% of its drop height (specifically, between 49" and 54") when dropped from 6 feet. If you're referring to just the height a dropped ball could bounce and you're not throwing it down with some kind of basketball-downward-hurling machine, you could calculate the theoretical bounce height by figuring out what terminal velocity is for a basketball, calculating how high you'd have to drop it from (assuming no atmosphere) to achieve that velocity, and then multiplying by 0.75. I'm not going to do it for you, because I'm not actually all that interested in the answer, but that's how you could do it if you are.
How high does a basketball bounce when dropped from 5 feet with only 5 pounds of air?
2 meters

Would a ball dropped from 5 feet on the moon hit the ground faster that a ball dropped from five feet on the earth?
No, it would hit slower because gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravity on earth.
