Think about a rubber ball bouncing in slow motion. It hits the floor, the ball changes shape - the bottom flattens a little bit as it continues to press against the floor. Then it must straighten out and take it's natural shape and in doing so, pushes itself against the floor to round out again. The force of the ball taking it's round shape so quickly makes it go back up into the air again. So the harder you throw a ball down, the higher it will go up again.

Why does electric bounce off rubber?
Rubber is an insulator, which means it does not conduct electricity. This property causes the electric charge to stay on the surface of the rubber and then bounce off instead of passing through it. This is why rubber is commonly used for electrical insulation purposes.
Can rubber eggs bounce?
No, rubber eggs cannot bounce as they are not real eggs. Rubber eggs are typically made of a solid material that does not have the properties needed for bouncing.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
What common energy causes a rubber ball to bounce?
When a rubber ball is dropped, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy upon hitting the ground, causing the ball to compress and then rebound. The elastic properties of the rubber material then allow the ball to quickly return to its original shape, transferring the kinetic energy back into potential energy and causing the ball to bounce back up.
What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?
A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.
What substance causes rubber to bounce?
latex in the material causes rubber to bounce
Why does electric bounce off rubber?
Rubber is an insulator, which means it does not conduct electricity. This property causes the electric charge to stay on the surface of the rubber and then bounce off instead of passing through it. This is why rubber is commonly used for electrical insulation purposes.
If A rubber ball is dropped on the floor what force causes it to bounce?
kinetic and potential energy.
What makes rubber balls bounce?
When a rubber ball is bounced, its molecular structure causes it to compress, but it cannot equalize the pressure by expanding on the other side, so the pent-up energy is rapidly used by decompressing the ball which causes the bounce.
Can rubber eggs bounce?
No, rubber eggs cannot bounce as they are not real eggs. Rubber eggs are typically made of a solid material that does not have the properties needed for bouncing.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
What makes a football bonce?
The rubber incasement the ball is made of as well as the composition of air withing when fully inflated causes a football to bounce.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
What made a tennis ball bounce?
The material rubber inside causes the ball to bounce up and down...it can, in other words, be categorized in one of Newton's Laws of Motion...you should look it up on Google...it can quite interesting...(: nikki131313
What makes a golf ball bounce high?

Why is rubber used on the outside of balls?
To make them bounce.
What common energy causes a rubber ball to bounce?
