Why doesn't a bouncy ball bounce as high as from where it was dropped?

Because some of the energy is lost in the bounce the air Resistance and gravity fighting to get the ball back to the ground while it is coming up. However if you throw it down hard enough theoretically it is possible to get the ball to bounce back all the way. this would be because extra energy has been put into the ball enabling it to get back.

Does a frozen bouncy ball bounce higher or lower then an unfrozen bouncy ball?
a frozen bouncy ball will not bounce higher or lower than an unfrozen one it will shatter
Can you bounce a bouncy ball in a bounce house?
yes but not as much as a soild surface becuase the bouncy house absorbs most of the force force by the ball
A dropped ball doesn't bounce back to its starting height how does this situation fit the law of conversation of energy?
According to the scientific law of conservation of energy the energy can be sustained by the bouncy ball indefinitely
What ball will bounce the highest?
* Probably a regular rubber bouncy ball or a fully pumped basketball.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
because light ball have more air in them so they bounce higher
Why does a bouncy ball bounce higher when dropped from a high point?
It has more pressure
Does a frozen bouncy ball bounce higher or lower then an unfrozen bouncy ball?
a frozen bouncy ball will not bounce higher or lower than an unfrozen one it will shatter
What factors affect a bouncy ball from bouncy?
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.
Which ball bounces higher a bouncy ball or a basketball?
small bouncy balls will bounce higher
What does a bouncy ball do when you freeze it?
it won't bounce

What ball bounces higher a basketball or rubber ball?
It would depend on what you bounce them on and what material the bouncy ball is made of. Most surfaces and materials would mean the bouncy ball goes higher, but a few could result in the golf ball being better.
