there is air inside a tennis ball. when it is hot, the air inside the ball is hot, and thus is excited. when the gas is excited it bounces around more inside the ball and causes it to be harder. when it is colder the gas is less excited so the ball feels softer. When you bounce a tennis ball on a hot day the ball is harder feeling and is essentially more elastic. this causes the ball to bounce higher. when it is colder the ball is less elastic and will not bounce up very high at all. think about the moment the ball hits the ground. if you threw it super hard the ball would momentarily get dented in. now if its hot the gas is excited and moving around a lot so it will push the dented in ball back out to its original shape very fast, where as if it is cold it will not push it back out as fast or hard so it will not bounce as high.
What else can I help you with?
How does the temperature of a tennis ball effect its height of its bounce?
the 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.
Will a hot tennis ball bounce higher than a cold tennis ball?
In theory, yes, however the largest effect of the temperature will be on the court. The hotter the surface is, the higher the ball will bounce.
How does a surface effect how high a tennis ball will bounce?
if it is rough it will bounce lower and it is smooth it will bounce higher
How does the speed of temperature of tenis ball affect the height of its bounce?
The temperature of a tennis ball can affect its bounce height. As temperature increases, the air molecules inside the ball expand, causing it to bounce higher. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the ball may not bounce as high due to decreased air pressure.
Can the tennis ball only bounce once in tennis?
Yes, the tennis ball is only allowed to bounce once.
Which ball can bounce the highest a basketballbaseballor a tennis ball?
a tennis ball
Can cold effect the bounce of a tennis ball?
Well, yes and no. It depends how long you freeze it.
Will a basketball bounce higher than a tennis ball or will a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball?
It really depends how hard you bounce either one, but i think the tennis ball.
What effect does the nap felt-yellow fuzz have on how high a tennis ball will bounce?
The more fuzz, the less bounce. The less fuzzy, the higher the bounce.
How many times can a tennis ball bounce before losing its bounce?
A tennis ball can bounce approximately 50-100 times before losing its bounce.
Does a tennis ball bounce higher when it is warmer or colder?
Hot. Personal experiments have shown that temperatures below 25°C make the ball bounce less. From 25°C and upwards there aren't any greater changes in height of bounce. The balls bounce almost the same.
Does the age of a tennis ball affect its bounce?
Question: Does the age of a tennis ball affect its bounce? Answer: The age of a tennis ball does not necessarily effect its bounce. A new tennis ball in a pressurized container will remain in a relatively new state and have the same approximate bounce for as long as the pressure inside the container remains constant; this is true whether the tennis balls were made a week ago or a year ago. What will effect the bounce of a tennis ball is prolonged crushing, excessive striking, or anything else which results in a pressure decrease on the inside of the tennis ball. A new can of tennis ball should be squeezed to test the pressure inside the container. An unopened can of tennis ball which is easily squeezed will contain tennis balls with reduced pressure; of course, this will depend upon how long ago the pressure in the container has been reduced. A tennis ball has a fuzzy outer layer. Anything which causes this fuzzy layer to change can effect the bounce of the tennis ball. Normal tennis play causes a thinning of the fuzz on the outer surface of a tennis ball. The fuzzy layer can absorb water, mud, and other foreign materials or substances which act to increase the weight of the ball and effect its bounce. Randy Lynn Rutledge - author of Fix Your Tennis
