How high will a soaking tennis ball bounce?
A soaking tennis ball won't bounce high because it has become water-logged
Can a ball bounce on water?
Some balls can bounce on water. It is known that all balls can float on water due to the amount of air they have inside. No, balls do not bounce on water, they may move/jump from force, but this is not really bouncing. Think of it this way, the lighter the ball the easier to move, hope that helps!
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
Which tennis ball bounce higher a frozen one or a unfrozen one?
Technically, a frozen tennis ball will not bounce well because of the temperature. The elasticity is one of the factors in which a ball bounces and when things are colder, there isn't as much elasticity, so it will not bounce as well. Therefore, a dry ball (as long as it wasn't frozen in a container) will bounce better than a frozen one.
How does water damage tennis balls?
I think water doesn't really damage tennis balls; rather, it just mattes their fabric.
What does water polo and tennis have in common?
both have balls
How come some soccer balls bounce higher than others?
Tennis balls are porous, and will allow water to seep in. The water adds too much weight to the tennis ball, causing it to be too heavy to bounce, in addition to ruining the outer surface of the tennis ball.
What physical property can we use to separate tennis balls from rocks?
The density of tennis balls is approx. 0,38 g/cm3 an can float on water.
Can you wash tennis balls and if so, what is the best method to do so effectively?
Yes, you can wash tennis balls. The best method is to fill a bucket with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently scrub the tennis balls with a soft brush or cloth, then rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Allow the tennis balls to air dry completely before using them again.
Does a bounce ball float in water?
No, bounce balls are typically made of rubber or plastic, so they are denser than water and will sink rather than float.
Which is heavier an bucket of water or bucket of tennis balls?
A bucket of water is heavier than a bucket of tennis balls. This is because water has a higher density than tennis balls, meaning there is more mass packed into a given volume. The weight of an object is determined by both its mass and the gravitational force acting on it, so the bucket of water will weigh more than the bucket of tennis balls when measured on a scale.
How do you clean a tennis ball effectively?
To clean a tennis ball effectively, you can use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the surface of the ball. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the ball in water, as this can damage the ball. Additionally, you can use a tennis ball cleaner specifically designed for this purpose. Regularly cleaning your tennis balls can help maintain their bounce and performance on the court.
