Yes, it does. Although it does depend on what material the ball is made of, for the most part, yes. If you rolled a 5 pound ball made of rubber, with a circumference of 6 inches, it would go less far on a flat plane than a 5 pound rubber ball with 12 inches of circumference.

∙ 9y agoYes the bounce of the ball affects the distance it can cover. As the ball bounces, the gravitational force acts on it such that it slows the movement of the ball. High bounce= low trajectory and low bounce=high trajectory.

∙ 12y agosometimes. if a ball was really big and heavy, it wouldn't be thrown very far. if it was small and light, it could be thrown pretty far. but if the bigger ball was filled with air, and the smaller ball was solid and metal, the bigger ball would be thrown farther than the smaller one. make sense?

∙ 9y agoThe size of a ball does affect how fast it rolls. Surface also play a major role in how fast a ball will move.

∙ 14y agoTo a certain extent yes. In theory, the longer the shaft, the greater the distance is between the pivot, which is the hands, and the club head. Therefore more momentum can be generated.

When we hit a wall why don't we bounce back as Newtons third law states?
Newton's 3rd law doesn't state anything of the kind. The reason we don't bounce back from a wall is because we're sort of inelastic. We do "bounce back" to a certain extent, but not the same way a rubber ball does.
Will a bowling ball or golf ball hit the ground first?
In a vacuum, they will hit at the same time.
What clubhead speed to get 250 yards?
There isn't a completely simple answer to this question, but I'll try and give you some 'rules of thumb'. As I'm sure you are well aware, the distance a golf ball carries depends on quite a few factors, e.g.: a) atmospheric conditions b) clubhead speed at impact c) how close to the so-called 'sweet spot', on the clubface, the initial contact with the ball is, at impact d) the nature and characteristics of the golf ball and driver in use, which in turn depend on the manufacturer and model. Some balls, and some drivers, produce a more 'lively' impact than others, so that the ball leaves the clubface at a higher speed, even at constant clubhead speed. Also the ball spin characteristics are a variable and again this affects distance. However, having said all of that, here are some ROUGH guideline figures: With a typical, 'middle of the range' modern driver, with a loft of about 10 or 11 degrees, and a 'middle of the range' ball: 90 mph clubhead speed will typically produce about 200 yards of CARRY (not total distance) 100 mph -----------------------------"-----------------------225 110 mph -----------------------------"------------------------250 Now, there are some important things to remember about those numbers: 1) The figures assume a clubface SQUARE TO THE TARGET at impact and 2) The direction of the clubhead is STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE TARGET at the instant of impact. and 3) The clubface contacts the ball AT THE 'SWEET SPOT' on the clubface. An important thing about point number 3 above is that, as another rule of thumb, for every quarter inch (6.3mm) away from the sweet spot the contact is, you will lose about 5% of distance. Many ordinary golfers, for much of the time, are half an inch or more off the sweet spot. So that's 10%, which equates to 20 yards on a 200 yard drive - quite a lot!! All this underlines the need for golfers to learn to hit the ball BETTER, rather than just trying to hit it harder. Now the above figures are CARRY, not total distance. The extra bit of distance is of course the 'bounce and roll' and this varies enormously when using a driver. On very soft ground you'll get virtually nil bounce and roll, but on hard, dry ground you might get 50 yards or maybe more. Under 'average' ground conditions, you can reckon on bounce and roll being about 10% of the carry distance. What I've said above is by no means an exhaustive explanation of the factors affecting distance, but it's a start. In conclusion, using the figures I've provided, you can deduce that you might expect a 250 yard drive with average modern equipment from a clubhead speed of just over 100 mph, assuming that bounce and roll is 10% of the carry distance, and assuming good, precise, square impact.
Can you rack the sand before you hit the ball in the sand?
Yes
What force is responsible for a tennis ball moving forward after it gets hit by a tennis racket?
The ball keeps moving forward because of its momentum, which is not a force.
Can weather effect the distance a ball is hit?
Yes if the wind is blowing hard it will move the distance of the ball
What makes a golf ball bounce?
AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material. A golf ball needs to bounce high to be able to get hit by a golf club and fly through the air and hit the ground and bounce. Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.
The name of a sort of sport where you would hit the ball so it would bounce once and only once and hit the wall. Then another person would have to hit it before it is bounce twice after hitting the WA?
You can't let it rebounced twice before you hit it, but you can let it bounce once or not bounce at all,
Does a tennis ball lose its bounce quicker when its wet?
Yes it does, the water accumulates in the ball, which causes it to get heavier and therefore doesn't bounce as high as a normal tennis ball. The ball also tends to slide on the courts when the ball hits the surface when hit with pace.
What is the ruling if a pitched ball bonces before it is swung at and hit?
There is no difference from one that does not bounce.
How you call Pushing the ball to hit the floor to get it to another team member is?
a bounce pass
What is the type of bounce of where ball is hit with full strength in racquetball?
When serving, this is called a "drive serve."
How does a backspin affect a shot?
A ball with backspin will bounce slightly more backwards when it hits the ground, or slightly more forwards if it hits a ceiling. In basketball, this makes the ball more likely to fall through the hoop if it hits the back of the rim, or more likely to bounce high (and possibly fall into the hoop) if it hits the front. In tennis, this makes the ball bounce higher on a normal shot, making it slightly easier to hit. It can prevent a drop shot from going as far, also, making the player run further in order to catch it. In golf, the ball will bounce a shorter distance (or possible bounce backwards after a very high shot).
How do you handle the ball?
You can kick it, throw it, bounce it, hit it with a racquet or a bat, juggle it and do many other actions with it.
How a soccer ball bounces?
A soccer ball bounces as the air particles in them hit and apply pressure at the ball, when it hits a surface, the pressure from the particles apply a force on the ball. Thus, making it bounce.
What is the major factor in distance for golf?
Hit the ball as hard as you can!
What effect does the density of a bat have on the distance that you can hit a ball?
The more dense a bat is, the more harder it is. The harder the bat the less amount of energy is absorbed so the ball will go farther. Main point: Bat more dense- farther hit Bat less dense- shorter hit
