The mocules for cold air are slower so it makes it not bounce as high and the normal temperature bounces higher.

∙ 11y agoWhen you hold the ball in the air,it's full of potential energy[or energy of position] When you drop the ball,the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy [or energy of motion]. As it bounces back up, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy. However, the ball will not return quite as high as you dropped it since some of the energy is transformed into heat and sound in the collision with the floor. If you drop the same ball on the same surface, the height it bounces back to will be the exact same relative to the height you drop the ball from. In other words, if you drop the ball and it bounces back to half the height from which you dropped it, when you drop it again from the halfway height, it will bounce a quarter of the way back. This is called the coefficient of restitution. Inflation will affect the coefficient of restitution.The next time you watch a Basketball game, pay carefully attention to the referee when he receives the game ball.

∙ 16y agoIf you bounce a hot ball, then it will bounce higher because heat will cause the air molecules to move faster and bounce higher while the cold slows them down eventually causing deflation over time and it won't bounce as high

∙ 13y agothe hotter the tennis ball is the higher it will bounce because the molecules are moving faster and the pressure is decreasing. Opposite when it is cold.

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.
How high will ball bounce?
Depends on the kind of ball- and whether you mean the size of the ball, or how high it can go in flight. A basketball is large than a golf ball.
Does the surface you drop a handball on effect how high it bounces?
Simple answer: Yes, because some surfaces absorb more energy than others.
What happens to rock when it is exposed to very high temperature?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
What is the temperature of the Colorado Desert?
The temperature in the Colorado desert can get very high. The average temperature of the desert in Colorado is 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does color affect how high a ball bounces?
No, color does not affect how high a ball bounces.
How does the temperature of a soccer ball affect how high the ball bounces?
The hotter the ball is the higher it bounces. This is because the air in the ball heats up and expands. This tightens the skin and gives the ball a higher elastic potential
How does temperature affect how high or low Tennis ball bounces?
The ball becomes super charged when hot and better to play tennis with when cold
Does the amount of pressure enforced on a basketball affect how high the ball bounces?
yes!
Does the size of a bouncy ball affect how high it bounces?
As long as they have the same density and mass, size will not affect it
How does the weight of a ball affect how high it bounces?
yes because if it is heivgh it will bouce low
Does the temperature depend on how high a ball bounces outside?
This question does not specify the object you want to know the temperature of and so cannot be answered.
How does the amount of air affect how high a ball bounces?
If a ball is more deflated it provides more resistance for the energy to transfer into upwards motion
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.
What is the control in this project-you are heating a ball and measuring how high it bounces then freezing the ball and bouncing it?
bouncing the ball at room temperature, before heating or freezing it, and then measuring the height of the bounce.
Does the type of ball including different mass or inflatability affect how high the ball bounces?
Talking on the likeness of theory it is likely that different balls hence diffence in the matrial it is made of so yes it will affect the bounce
Your partner and you are doing your project on how can the temperature affect how high a tennis ball bounces?
i am not sure but when it gets hot balls tend to expand and preforme like flat balls but when its cold balls usually contract and get tighter and bounce higher.
