Bounce

When a basketball bounces it has two types of energy which are potential and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that happens due to motion. A fast moving ball has more kinetic energy than a slow moving ball. A ball in motion type of motion has no kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy in an object due to its height above the ground. When a ball is brought above the head it is potential energy but when the person holding the ball lets go of the ball gravity pulls it down and as the

height of the bounce of the basketball when dropped from one meter. In this case the surfaces that we investigated were a table top, the classroom floor, grass, pavement, and dirt. The average height of bounces for each of the surfaces that were tested was the table top with 60 cm, the classroom floor with 66.4 cm, the grass with 63 cm, the pavement with 68.8 cm, and the dirt with 71.4 cm. The type of surface the basketball was bounced on affected its height because when a basketball bounces off of a

51 ̊, 75 ̊, 111 ̊. In the experiment it was about how temperature effects the air pressure of a basketball. The one thing that would change the experiment is recording the bounce because participants had to get the bounce and the measurement. The highest bounce was the hot ball that was 111 ̊it bounce high. The lowest bounce was the frozen ball that was 12 ̊ because it barely bounced. Introduction Many athletes use basketballs, soccer balls, and volley balls to play their sports. The balls need

height it bounces to. Independent and dependent variables: Which variable will be changed? (This is the independent variable) The height of the ball drop. How will the independent variable be changed? By decreasing the drop height of the ping-pong by 20cm after each set of measurements, (starting at 100cm) Give a suitable range of values for this variable: 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm and 100cm Which variable will be measured? (This is the dependent variable) The peak height the ping-pong ball bounces back

ball, Softball, Mini Pool ball and a Marble ball) and record how high it bounces in meters. We did 3 trials for each ball and we got .76m, .79m, and .78m for Rubber ball, .58m, .52m, and .55m for Softball, .33m, .34m, and .40m for Mini Pool ball, and .25m, .29m, and.25m for Marble ball. We note that whether the ball showed more elastic or inelastic Collison, if the ball bounce up more than it is more elastic, if the ball bounces up less than it is more inelastic. Once we finished doing this we discussed

experiment was to test how high three different brands of golf balls would bounce from 1 m off the ground. My group thought that of the three brands of golf balls, Wilson, Tieliest, and Callaway, the Wilson golf ball would bounce back the highest. This Hypothesis was not supported because the Wilson golf ball average bounce was 76.1 cm, the Callaway golf ball bounced back an average of 76.2, and the Titleist golf ball bounce an average of 78.2. For our procedure we dropped the Wilson golf ball from

surface that gave the basketball the most immense bounce. After testing each surface, the data got averaged out, and based on the statistics, the multi-purpose floor averaged .7 inches more colossal than the hardwood, and 3.7 more than concrete. Introduction “Playing basketball can be hard work. Players not only have to run around the court, but just dribbling the basketball takes some serious effort, too.” (“Surface Science: Where Does a Basketball Bounce Best?”). Energy reserved inside the ball, transfers

Aim The aim of this experiment is to test if the bounce efficiency of the tennis ball remained consistent when the drop height changed. Hypothesis If the height in which the ball is dropped from is increased, then the tennis ball will increase in bounce height. This is because the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed and transferred. Explanation of outline of Modification The modification of this experiment was the alteration of

kinetic energy after it leaves your hand and starts to fall. So the force of gravity has to be less than the force of the bounce to keep the dribbling going. It also depends on brand; different brands have

The question I will be testing is, how does the temperature of a tennis ball affect how high it bounces? Why does this matter? Well it matters because you will know how to get the best results in playing a tennis match, and instead of wasting a bunch of tennis balls, you will understand why it will bounce high in some locations and not others instead of thinking you have a bad ball. Plus, when you are playing a match, you will know how to adjust the amount of force you use on the ball and how you
