What variables do you think might affect the height to which a dropped ball will bounce?
Gravity, air resistance, the material of the ball, and the height from which it was dropped initially.
A ball is dropped from a 150-m tall building Neglecting air resistance what will the speed of the ball be when it reaches the ground 5.5 seconds later Apex?
Disregarding air resistance, what is the speed of a ball dropped from 12 feet just before it hits the ground? (Use 1 ft = 0.30 m, and use g = 9.8 m/s2.)
If A ball is dropped from a rooftop what is the ball's velocity after 3 seconds?
gravity = 9.8 m/s2 , 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 m/s (excluding air resistance)
How come when a ball is dropped it doesnt reach the original height it was dropped from?
Some of the energy is lost (dissipated) in the process of rebounding. Also, air resistance can slow down the ball a bit.
Is there a link between the height the ball is dropped from and the height to which it bounces?
Yes. Under ideal circumstances - no air resistance, elastic collision (i.e., perfect bounce), the ball should bounce back to the same height from which it was dropped, due to conservation of energy. In practice, some energy is always lost, both due to air resistance and to a non-perfect bounce.
A ball is dropped and a ball of similar mass is fired which has greater acceleration?
If we disregard air resistance; they both have identical acceleration under gravity. If we take air resistance into account, then the mass that is fired will be de-accelerating slightly, so if you calculate the overall acceleration it will be slightly lower than the mass that is dropped.

Gravity, air resistance, the material of the ball, and the height from which it was dropped initially.
Why does a tennis ball go farther and higher than a soccer ball with the same mass?
That is because of air resistance. Since the soccer ball has a greater surface area (and holds the same shape as the tennis ball), it will see greater air resistance against that surface, thus slowing it and stopping it quicker.
A tennis ball a bowling ball and a feather are dropped from the Empire State Building in New York City at the same time With respect to what you have learned about air resistance which object reac?
The bowling ball, because it's the heaviest and thus not as affected by air resistance
What factors affect the bounce of a dropped ball?
The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include...... the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're on ; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces.

Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.

Is air resistance in a ball being thrown?
Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.
