This is the sort of question that is amenable to scientific experiment. It may well be that most balls are affected by the temperature. Bounce is after all a question of returning the energy available at impact. The biggest factor is the proportion of the kinetic energy - the energy of motion - that is lost as useless heat. Dropping a few balls at fridge temperature and a few balls at room temperature on a hard surface, and seeing how high they bounce back would answer the question. I haven't done this experiment, but I know that trapped air increases pressure when warmed, and rubber does something strange - it can shrink not expand when warmed. If you have ever driven in a car in really REALLY cold weather, you have probably noticed the 'square wheel' effect until the tires warm up. The flat spot in the tire stays flat for a while. So that suggests a rubber case would lose more energy when cold....

What pictures can answer the question How does temperature affect the bounce of a ball?
temperature does affect the bounce of a ball!
Does the temperature affect the bounce of the ball?
yes
What is the name of the game played on a volleyball court with a volleyball but it has to bounce before you hit it?
Volleyball Tennis
How does a volleyball bounce in beach volleyball?
it doesn't. you can't let it touch the ground
How does temperature affect the height that a dropped ball bounces?
When the ball is at a low temperature, the molecules are not flexible and bounce only to a small height. On the other hand, if the ball is warm or at a higher temperature, it will bounce longer heights.
How temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball. show a bar chart?
Temperature does affect the bounce of a ball. I know this because I did an expiremnt on the exact same question. The hotter the temperature is, the more pressure builds up inside a ball and the more bouncier it will be. The colder it is, pressure decreaces making it bounce lower than what the ball bounced at room temperature. In conclusion, the ball bounces higher when it is warmer and it bounces lower when it is colder.
What materials do you need to make a project for the question How does temperature affect the bounce of a ball?
A freezer, oven, a room
Does the warm temperature affect the bounce of a ball?
Yes. 'Warm' increases the elasticity. Cold decreases the elasticity. Extreme cold can make the substances brittle and not bounce at all.
What does a volleyball do?
Volleyball is a ball that takes ver hard hits. This is a tough question. They do bounce and take very hard hittings.
If you store tennis balls at a warm temperature will it affect the rebound?
Yes it will effect the rebound height. It tends to bounce higher in a warm temperature because the molecules speed up and strike the inner core more and faster so this makes it bounce higher!
How does height affect bounce of a egg?
eggs don't bounce so, no
How does air temperature and air pressure affect your flexibility?
the temperature of a basketball effects it's bounce because the air partacles in the ball slow down causing it to lose pressure and it doesn't bounce as well. if a ball has more pressure it bounces better.
