Yes. I think you can microwave just about anything that will fit inside one. Now, before you do this, the question should be, "Is is safe to microwave a Golf ball?". To this I would answer that it would totally depend on the time, 10 secs. vs. 5 mins., to which I would answer that the former would probably do nothing and latter could be potentially harmful and possibly dangerous. I would not do it.
They build the tennis ball around the air, really! Actually, the tennis ball is made in two halves and then heat wielded together to form the finished ball.
Yes, a rubber bouncy ball can explode if put in a microwave. The microwave's heat can cause the air inside the ball to expand rapidly, leading to an explosion. It is not safe to microwave rubber bouncy balls.
The reason why the tennis ball bounces higher is because when heat is applied the tennis ball expands making it more like a fly away football 'makes it lighter' when it is bounced it hits the floor and had more air in it so therefore bounces higher.
It explodes in 39.2 seconds after being heated at 375 degree Fahrenheit in an oven. VERY messy.
The heat will cause the air inside the table-tennis ball (ping pong ball) to expand and so push the dint out.
The transfer of energy from your racket and the ground to the ball causes its particles to move faster, which causes heat.
Yes, because the gas molecules in the tennis ball expand. When the molecules expand there energy increases.
The heat cause the air inside the ball to expand and undent the ball
Crayons are made of wax. Wax melts in heat. That's your answer.
A tennis ball may deteriorate for a number of reasons, including usage (i.e., being hit) and the environment (i.e., heat and humidity). Left alone, a tennis ball would, eventually, lose air through osmosis of the rubber core and felt coverings. When struck, the air is forced out little by little. Heat forces air to escape more quickly, and the effects of humidity and being struck wear out the felt covering, as well as causing tiny cracks and holes in the felt and rubber from which air will escape.
Heating methanol in a microwave can cause it to vaporize and potentially ignite, leading to a fire or explosion hazard. It is not safe to heat flammable liquids like methanol in a microwave as it can result in serious safety issues.
Under the fuzzy exterior of a tennis ball is a rubber "shell". Rubber has a natural bouncy quality, but it's the compressed air inside the rubber shell that gives it that extra bounce. If you ever heat up a screwdriver and push it through the tennis ball, you should hear the air hissing out, or whooshing out in some circumstances. Hope this helped, Chris
