Does the surface affect the bounce of a ball?

Yes... If the surface is smooth, then the ball should bounce fine but if the surface is rough the ball will bounce all over the place.


What surface will a ball bounce higher on?

on concrete because it is hard and smooth


What type of surface does a ball bounce best on?

Hard, massive, and smooth.


When the ball reaches the bottom and rolls along the smooth level surface it?

does not accelerate


What surface will ball roll fastest on?

Dirt , assuming it is flat and dry . The answer depends upon the velocity of the ball and what resistance there is in either the dirt or grass .


How does finction cause a ball to slow down?

It does because when the ball hits the surface and the surface magnified would look rugged anyways when the ball hits the surface the friction pulls on the ball causind it to slow down and if you roll a brick down a hill you will find it will stop easier than a ball smooth surface


What falls faster a tennis ball or soccer ball?

it would hit the ground if there was one to hit


Did Aristotle thinks that a force on earth keeps a ball rolling along a smooth surface?

YES


How does a surface effect how high a tennis ball will bounce?

if it is rough it will bounce lower and it is smooth it will bounce higher


Why would a ball roll better on one surface vs the other?

a ball would roll better on one surface vs the other because one surface may have more friction the the other surface. For example a smooth surface like a polished wooden floor would have a ball roll better than a carpet where the hairs are stopping the progression of the ball.


Why is a smooth rubber ball able to spin easier in water than a tennis ball?

Because a tennis ball is hairy, and this means that the hairs stick out from the ball and involve more water in the spinning process (as compared to a smooth ball of otherwise identical size, weight) which uses up the energy of the spinning faster.


Which surface lets a ball roll farthest?

A ball rolling along any surface will be slowed by friction. Different materials used for the ball and the rolling surface will affect the distance a ball will roll but in general, the smoother and more polished the surface is, the further a ball will roll.
