There are several reason why a bouncy ball bounce so high one being the rubber material used to make the ball is able to stretch out and flatten a little and then retain its shape. The other major reason is physics, the energy created when the ball falls to the ground.

Does the color of a bounce ball effect how high it bounces?

No, the color of a bounce ball does not affect how high it bounces. The height of the bounce is determined by the material and design of the ball, as well as the surface it bounces on. The color is purely cosmetic and has no impact on its bounce height.


Why do balls bounce high on tiles?

Well it is hard to explain but i will give it a try. It actually depends on what type of ball your talking about. Baseball, Basketball, Waffle balls, etc you looking at a bouncy ball its actually because of the rubber used when you bounce the ball hard do you here that slamming sound? That is the sound of the tiles and the ball meeting and since the tiles are a hard smooth surface rubber works well on it so that's how i think of it.


Why can't a foam ball bounce?

A foam ball doesn't bounce well because its material absorbs and dissipates the energy from the impact, leading to reduced elasticity and rebound force. This makes it less efficient in converting the kinetic energy into potential energy required for bouncing.


Which ball size will bounce the highest?

Well, honey, if we're talking about physics here, a smaller ball size will typically bounce higher than a larger one. That's because smaller balls have less mass and surface area, so they can achieve greater height when they rebound off a surface. But hey, don't take my word for it - go try it out yourself and see which ball size gets the most airtime!


Does the size of a ball effect how many bounces you get?

If it is hollow yes it does. The smaller the hallow ball the less air fits into it making it bounce less well. Except of course if the materials are different in which case it is possible the smaller ball would be more bouncy. The bouncier it is the more bounces you would get without it rolling.

Does heating a rubber ball cause it to bounce higher?

There is no doubt any rubber ball will have an optimum "bounce" temperature and it is unlikely this is room temperature. it could in fact be cooler. It is well known squash balls are warmed up before being used, so it is likely warming bouncy balls up will make them bounce more.


What makes a golf ball bounce?

AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material. A golf ball needs to bounce high to be able to get hit by a golf club and fly through the air and hit the ground and bounce. Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.

Do tennis ball bounce well on cardboard?

It depends where you lay the cardboard. If you lay it on carpet it won't bounce well. If you lay it on concrete it will bounce good.


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.

Why does a basketball need to be filled with air?

Well, friend, when a basketball is filled with air, it becomes bouncy and easier to dribble and shoot. The air inside the ball helps it keep its shape and bounce back when it hits the ground. Just like adding a little sunshine to a painting, filling a basketball with air brings it to life and makes it ready for a fun game on the court.

Do deflated balls bounce well?

No. The less air pressure in the ball, the lower the ball bounces.


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.
