Dah, I'm just a HS student but my logical (not scientific) hypothesis is that the water weighs it down and makes it less springy when it meets the ground.

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.
Why does a heated tennis ball bounce higher?
A heated tennis ball bounces higher because the hot air inside the ball is lighter than the air around the ball therefore giving the tennis ball the ability to bounce higher.
What is your hypothesis on how the temperature effects a tennis balls height?
If a tennis ball is cooler then the atoms have less energy so it may hypothetically bounce lower than if it was warmer
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.
Why does a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball and soccer ball?
less weight
Does a tennis ball bounce higher than other ball?
Yes, It does Alot Higher
What makes a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball?
A tennis ball is made of materials that are more elastic than a basketball, allowing it to deform and rebound quicker upon impact, resulting in a higher bounce. Additionally, the size and weight difference between a tennis ball and a basketball also contribute to the tennis ball bouncing higher.
Why do some tennis balls bounce higher than others?
Tennis balls bounce higher depending on factors like their internal pressure, felt quality, and core material. New balls with higher pressure and less wear will bounce higher compared to older balls with lower pressure and more wear. The type of surface and conditions where the ball is being used can also affect its bounce height.
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.
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 temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball. show a bar chart?
Temperature does affect the bounce of a ball. I know this because I did an expiremnt on the exact same question. The hotter the temperature is, the more pressure builds up inside a ball and the more bouncier it will be. The colder it is, pressure decreaces making it bounce lower than what the ball bounced at room temperature. In conclusion, the ball bounces higher when it is warmer and it bounces lower when it is colder.
How do different type of surfaces affect the bounce of a ball?
I am assuming you are talking about tennis. On a grass surface, the ball will bounce fast. On clay courts, the ball will bounce slower than on grass. On a hard court, the speed of the ball bounce will be in between clay and grass.
