It is not exactly the same, but it is very similar. A space hopper has handles, and a regular rubber ball does not. A space hopper is also much larger than a normal rubber ball.

Is it easy to stop a rubber ball then a wooden ball of same size moving with the same speed?

It is generally easier to stop a rubber ball moving at the same speed as a wooden ball of the same size, due to the rubber ball's elasticity and ability to deform upon impact, absorbing some of the energy. The wooden ball, being more rigid, would transfer more energy upon impact, making it more difficult to stop.


What would bounce higher if dropped at the same height a wooden ball or rubber ball?

The rubber ball would bounce higher than the wooden ball when dropped at the same height. Rubber is an elastic material that can store and release more energy upon impact compared to wood, resulting in a higher bounce.


Why It is easy to stop a rubber ball than a wooden ball of same size moving with the same speed. Explain?

Rubber is more elastic than wood, so it can absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of the moving ball more effectively, causing it to come to a stop more easily. The rubber ball will deform upon impact, while the wooden ball is more rigid and will retain its shape, resulting in a greater rebound effect and less energy dissipation.


Which would bounce higher a golf ball a rubber ball or ping pong ball?

A rubber ball would generally bounce higher than a golf ball or a ping pong ball due to its elasticity and ability to store and release energy upon impact. Ping pong balls, being lightweight and hollow, can also bounce quite high but may not have the same level of bounce as a rubber ball. Golf balls are designed for low bounce as they are meant to stay on the ground when hit.


Why is it easy to stop a rubber ball than wooden ball with same speed and size?

The rubber ball will compress upon impact, absorbing some of the energy and reducing the bounce-back effect. This makes it easier to stop compared to a wooden ball, which is more rigid and will bounce back with more force due to its inability to compress.

Why cant you throw a rubber ball far like a hard ball?

If the ball is lighter than the hard ball, then it is because a heavier ball has more force when moving at the same speed as a lighter ball. If they weigh the same, then it is because in some instances, with certain materials, a hard ball with a lot of "ping" to it will bounce further than a rubber ball, due to motive energy being converted to heat in the polymers of the rubber ball, thus decreasing the total motive energy.


Is it possible to make a catapult out of k'nex and rubber bands to launch a rubber band ball?

If you take your index finger and your thumb you can put them in the same rubber band and you can use it as a catapult.

Dose the temperature of a RUBBER bouncy ball effect the height of the bounce?

Yes it does. If the rubber is to cold the molecules in the rubber will not deflect "spring" allowing. If the rubber is to hot then those same molecules are to far apart to interact with each other in an optimal way.
