How does the ground temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball?

Answer 1

No, i myself have done the experiment and found that room temperature ball bounce as high as frozen and hot balls.

A SMALL AMOUT COS THE RUBBER WILL CHANGE....i h8 n0000bz

Answer 2

Yes, because when it is hotter, molecules and atoms in the ball will be moving faster because they are heated up. This causes the ball to be more bouncy and soft. When it is colder, like frozen, the molecules and atoms are moving in like slow-motion and that is why the ball would be harder. You froze up the molecules and atoms of the ball! But it is impossible for atoms and molecules to COMPLETELY stop moving. Cheers!

Answer 3

If it's hot outside, then there will be less friction, therefore making the ball's bounce not as high as it would be if it was cold outside. You should be bouncing it outside anyways, it's easier to do and you have not to many worries about breaking something inside ;)

Answer 4

Yeah, so temperature simply affect the bounce. That's just the way it is

Answer: the temperature of the ground affects how solid the ground is. If you compare bouncing a ball on cement (frozen ground-great bounce!) to bouncing it on sand (mud-no bounce) or a padded rug (grass-like-some bounce) you can understand how this works.

Answer 5

Cold air is more dense which is making the ball bounce higher, warm air is less dense which is making the ball bounce less higher.

Answer 6

Because the temperature affects the height of the tennis ball because the more heat the more the air pushes out when bounce the colder the less

Answer 7

As the air temperature in the tennis ball raises, so does the pressure inside. As the pressure increases, the ball becomes harder and acts like one of those solid rubber super bouncy balls.
