Because it loses some of its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. Some of the energy gets transfered downward, but some energy is reverted backward.

What is the onomatopoeia for a ball bouncing?

The onomatopoeia for a ball bouncing is "boing" or "bounce."


Is the height of a bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped (Variable)?

Yes, the height of a bounce is affected by the height from which the ball is dropped. The higher the ball is dropped from, the higher it will bounce back due to the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy during the bounce.


What pictures can answer the question How does temperature affect the bounce of a ball?

A series of images showing a ball being dropped from different heights at varying temperatures, with the resulting bounce height measured. A side-by-side comparison of a ball bouncing on surfaces at different temperatures to visually demonstrate the effect of temperature on the bounce. Infographic illustrating the relationship between temperature and bounce height of a ball, with temperature as the x-axis and bounce height as the y-axis.


Explain why the height of a bouncing ball decreases after each bounce?

because some of the energy that helps the ball to bounce is absorbed into the surface it is bouncing on (because the ball can be squashed) and so the energy deflected back up into the air again is less and less each time it bounces.


Why does a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce what energy conversion is taking place?

The bouncing ball rises to a lower height with each bounce due to energy losses in the form of heat, sound, and deformation of the ball upon impact with the ground. The energy conversion taking place is from kinetic energy of the ball to other forms of energy like thermal and sound energy.

What is the control in this project-you are heating a ball and measuring how high it bounces then freezing the ball and bouncing it?

bouncing the ball at room temperature, before heating or freezing it, and then measuring the height of the bounce.


How do geometric sequences apply to a bouncing ball?

The ball does not return to its initial height after bouncing. So the height it reaches after the first bounce will be a fraction of the initial height, etc. This is a geometric sequence with common ratio 5/8.

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?

Yes, the height of a bounce is affected by the height from which the ball is dropped. The higher the ball is dropped from, the higher it will bounce back due to the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy during the bounce.

What energy conversion is taking place when a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce?

The energy conversion taking place is from potential energy to kinetic energy as the ball falls and gains speed. Then, as the ball bounces back up, kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy as the ball rises to a lower height.


What best describes the greatest height a ball with bounce off the ground after being dropped from a height of 50 cm?

The ball will bounce back to a height less than its original drop height of 50 cm due to energy loss during each bounce. The exact height the ball will bounce to depends on the ball's elasticity and the surface it bounces on.


Why does a bounceing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce?

A bouncing ball lowers and its height each time it bounces because of gravity counter acts the force of rise
