How does cold air affect the bounce of a tennis ball?
it decreases it
does color affect how high a bouncy ball bounces?
The combination of the material properties of a ball (surface textures, actual materials, amount of air, hardness/ softness, and so on) affects the height of its bounce.
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.
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.
Does the mass of the ball affect how high it bounces?
a ball can never bounce over the height from which it was bounced unless u aplly a force. 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 one; 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. weight also affect the bounce height.
Will a basketball or tennis ball bounce higher with more air?
i know that a basketball will because if it has nothing in it, it won't bounce. right? but when you put more helium in, it will bounce high. but if you put to much in it, it might explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is the air pressure of a basketball important?
yes because if it has too much air it will either bounce high or explode and if it has not enough air it wont bounce very well
Would the weight of a basketball affect the bounce?
Bounce is affected by the elasticity of the ball and its internal pressure. The more elastic and optimum pressure, the better the bounce. However, weight is another factor, a heavy ball with the same elasticity and internal pressure as another ball will not bounce as high since force is a function of mass and velocity.
Why does a heated tennis ball bounce really high?
Tennis balls have pressured air inside of them from the manufacturer. This air on days with higher temperatures will increase and expand this internalized pressure of the ball, thus making the ball more solid and hard. This increases the "bounce" of the ball
What variables do you think might affect the height to which a dropped ball will bounce?
Gravity, air resistance, the material of the ball, and the height from which it was dropped initially.
Why does a tennis ball lose its bounce when the can is opened?
because it looses all its air so it wont be able to bounce as high as it would normally do.
Does the size of the ball effect how high it bounces?
I don't believe so. Think of a basketball and a super ball. (I know, this is for example) Both of them bounce super high, and a baseball doesn't bounce. I think it depends on the air inside of it and not the size. Basketballs have air, super balls too, footballs bounce a little also.
