Why does a basket ball bounce high?
Because as the basket ball hits the ground, all the air in the ball gets pushed from the bottom of the ball to the top which causes it to bounce back up.
What exerts the force to make a ball bounce up?
When a ball hits the ground, the surface applies an upward force on the ball due to the deformation of the ball and the surface. This force causes the ball to bounce back up. The elasticity of the ball also plays a role in how high it bounces.
What causes a soccer ball to bounce?
the air inside of it
What happens when you bounce a ball?
When you bounce a ball, it compresses against the surface it hits, storing potential energy. As it then moves back up, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the ball to bounce back up. The height of the bounce is determined by the elasticity of the ball and the surface it hits.
How does air temperature effect the bounce of a tennis ball?
there is air inside a tennis ball. when it is hot, the air inside the ball is hot, and thus is excited. when the gas is excited it bounces around more inside the ball and causes it to be harder. when it is colder the gas is less excited so the ball feels softer. When you bounce a tennis ball on a hot day the ball is harder feeling and is essentially more elastic. this causes the ball to bounce higher. when it is colder the ball is less elastic and will not bounce up very high at all. think about the moment the ball hits the ground. if you threw it super hard the ball would momentarily get dented in. now if its hot the gas is excited and moving around a lot so it will push the dented in ball back out to its original shape very fast, where as if it is cold it will not push it back out as fast or hard so it will not bounce as high.
Why is a tennis ball warmer when you bounce it?
The transfer of energy from your racket and the ground to the ball causes its particles to move faster, which causes heat.
What common energy causes a rubber ball to bounce?
When a rubber ball is dropped, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy upon hitting the ground, causing the ball to compress and then rebound. The elastic properties of the rubber material then allow the ball to quickly return to its original shape, transferring the kinetic energy back into potential energy and causing the ball to bounce back up.
What does a bounce ball need to bounce?
A bounce ball needs elasticity to bounce. When it hits a surface, the material compresses and stores energy. As the material expands back to its original shape, it releases the stored energy and propels the ball upwards.
Will a lacrosse ball bounce differently if it is frozen?
the ball will bounce less, because the molecules are moving slower which causes the ball to move slower and bounce slower
If you drop a rubber ball on the floor it bounces back up what force acts on the ball to provide the bounce?
When the ball hits the floor, it gets deformed, and the force of the ball compressing stores potential energy in the ball. This potential energy is released, causing the ball to bounce back up. This bounce-back force is a combination of the stored potential energy and the elasticity of the ball material.
What materials in a golf ball causes it to bounce higher?
They put magicdust into the golf balls so that they bounce really high.
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.
