Do NOT microwave a tennis ball. It will melt the rubber and the fumes emitting will temporarily blur your pupils. It does not increase bounce, it only melts.
No, a room temperature ball does not bounce higher than a heated tennis ball. In fact, the heated tennis ball will bounce higher than its room temperature counterpart. This is because tennis balls rely on a high pressure internal pocket of air for their bounce. Heating the tennis ball would increase the pressure of the air inside the ball (pressure varies as temperature) which would cause the tennis ball to bounce higher. This holds (albeit for different reasons) for most solid balls as well, such as baseballs.
no
Yes, this is because when the tennis ball is in a heated environment warm air enters through the ball and because the temperature gets higher, the tennis ball would get bigger. When the tennis ball is bigger it would bounce higher.
A tennis ball will bounce the highest because it is smaller. The smaller amount of mass that it has the more it will bounce and the higher it would get. For example, when you put air into a ball the more mass it builds up but, when the ball is flat it would not bounce.
because it looses all its air so it wont be able to bounce as high as it would normally do.
It would be a lot harder to play because it wouldn't bounce, so hopefully that won't happen.
IT WOULD KILL YOU:(!
SO that it would be easier to bounce off the ground. if it's square or triangle, it would be hard to bounce if off the ground.. you could try it by yourself if you don't trust me...
it depends how hard the ball hits the ground a basketball would deffinetly bounce higher than a tennis ball
Hot because when the ball is hot it has more pressure as if it were cold then it would be kind of flat. :)
well i would have to say cement...because wood has more give when hit
Grass of course! Grass is more solid than dirt.
