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.

Would a tennis ball bounce high on a soft surface?

no


Type of ball bounce the highist a tennis baa or a basketball?

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.


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.


How would tennis be different if tennis balls were like cubes?

It would be a lot harder to play because it wouldn't bounce, so hopefully that won't happen.


Why does a tennis ball lose its bounce when the can is opened?

because it looses all its air so it wont be able to bounce as high as it would normally do.


Would a tennis ball bounce higher on grass or dirt?

Grass of course! Grass is more solid than dirt.


If i freeze a tennis ball then it will not bounce as high?

True. Freezing would compress the gas in the ball and reduce the elasticity of the rubber in it.


How does a tennis ball's material affect its bounce?

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.


What are the differences between steaming and microwaving sweet potato?

Steaming is a healthier process because microwaving would make the vitamins go away.


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 high can a tennies ball bounce on carpet?

Based on the square law of velocity, and assuming the smoothing factor for the elasticity of the carpet follows a binormal law of distribution, we can infer that a standard tennis ball would bounce at about 20cm for a carpet of 5cm width.


How high does tennis ball bounce from 5 feet onto asphalt?

A tennis ball typically bounces to about 50-60% of the height it was dropped from. So, if dropped from 5 feet onto asphalt, it would bounce back up to around 2.5 to 3 feet. The actual height can vary depending on factors like the ball's pressure, surface condition, and angle of impact.
