Does the temperature of a ball affect how high it bounces?

Answer 1

The mocules for cold air are slower so it makes it not bounce as high and the normal temperature bounces higher.

Answer 2

When you hold the ball in the air,it's full of potential energy[or energy of position] When you drop the ball,the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy [or energy of motion]. As it bounces back up, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy. However, the ball will not return quite as high as you dropped it since some of the energy is transformed into heat and sound in the collision with the floor. If you drop the same ball on the same surface, the height it bounces back to will be the exact same relative to the height you drop the ball from. In other words, if you drop the ball and it bounces back to half the height from which you dropped it, when you drop it again from the halfway height, it will bounce a quarter of the way back. This is called the coefficient of restitution. Inflation will affect the coefficient of restitution.The next time you watch a Basketball game, pay carefully attention to the referee when he receives the game ball.

Answer 3

If you bounce a hot ball, then it will bounce higher because heat will cause the air molecules to move faster and bounce higher while the cold slows them down eventually causing deflation over time and it won't bounce as high

Answer 4

the hotter the tennis ball is the higher it will bounce because the molecules are moving faster and the pressure is decreasing. Opposite when it is cold.

Answer 5
