A ball bounces because it's shape changes when it hits another object, then it returns to it's original form, pushing itself away from the object. When a ball is cold it's molecules don't move as much, so the shape changes less when it hits an object.

∙ 12y agoThree things make a ball bounce higher:
- The force (speed) with which the ball strikes the ground - the greater the downward force (speed) when the ball strikes the ground, the higher the bounce.
- The coefficient of elasticity of the ball - a ball with a greater coefficient of elasticity will bounce higher than a ball with a lower coefficient. The coefficient of elasticity is dependent upon several things, including the material the ball is made of. An inflated ball (such as a Basketball) will have a higher coefficient of elasticity when it is inflated to a higher internal air pressure.
- The stiffness and hardness of the surface the ball bounces on - the stiffer and harder the surface, the higher the ball will bounce. For example, the same ball will bounce higher on a hardwood floor than it will on a turf field.

What makes a basketball bounce higher?
when more pressure is applied to a basketball the ball bounces higher. your strength matters. if your strong, you throw the ball on the ground with all your might it will go very high. air inside the ball also matters. if 3/4 of the ball or less is full the ball will barely bounce. in fact there are chances it will not bounce at all no matter how strong you are. you need to make sure that the ball is full of air if you want it to bounce
What makes a bouncey ball bounce so high?
The more power you put into the ball the ball bounces.
What beach do you think bounces higher helium or pump?
i think that pump bounces higher than helium beacause i tried it and pump does bounce higher
How does carpet absorb energy from a ball?
Carpet absorbs energy from a ball because the carpet absorbs more kinetic energy. The energy that is absorbed doesn't allow the ball to bounce.
How does sound waves affect oobleck?
It sorta makes it fly and bounce around
What surface makes a tennis ball bounce higher?
cement
Which type of grass makes a soccer ball bounce higher?
turf grass
What would be a good conclution for a project what ball will bounce higher?
i learned that golf balls have a little bit of weight, less than a bouncy ball witch makes them bounce higher.
What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?
A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
Which ball bounce higher a big ball medium ball or small ball?
The small ball will bounce higher because it carries less weight.
Why does grass affect the bounce height of a ball?
the higher the grass the higher the bounce.
Would a frozen golf ball bounce higher than a hot golf ball?
No, the warmer golf ball would bounce higher.
Will a basketball bounce higher than a tennis ball or will a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball?
It really depends how hard you bounce either one, but i think the tennis ball.
Will a ball bounce higher if it is lighter?
No.
How does the change in height from which a ball is dropped impact its bounce?
Since the ball has air in it the higher it falls from the higher it will bounce. Gravity principle.
Why does a pumped ball bounce higher than a flat ball?
A pumped ball has more air in it to bounce. A flat ball has little air, and has no pressure to bounce off of.
