temperature does affect the bounce of a ball!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe temperature of a tennis ball can affect its bounce height. As temperature increases, the air molecules inside the ball expand, causing it to bounce higher. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the ball may not bounce as high due to decreased air pressure.
Temperature can affect the bounce height of a ball due to its impact on the elasticity of the ball material. In general, higher temperatures can make the ball material softer and less bouncy, resulting in a lower bounce height. Conversely, lower temperatures can make the material stiffer and more elastic, leading to a higher bounce height.
The question for the Bouncy Egg Project could be: "How does soaking an egg in vinegar affect its structure and ability to bounce?"
Yes, warm temperatures can affect the bounce of a ball. Warmer temperatures cause the air inside the ball to expand which can make the ball slightly more bouncy compared to when it is cold.
A ball may not bounce if it has lost its elasticity due to age or damage, or if the surface it is bouncing on is too soft or not rigid enough to generate a proper rebound force. Additionally, factors such as the temperature or air pressure inside the ball can affect its bounce.
A freezer, oven, a room
yes
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.

Yes it will effect the rebound height. It tends to bounce higher in a warm temperature because the molecules speed up and strike the inner core more and faster so this makes it bounce higher!
eggs don't bounce so, no

This is the sort of question that is amenable to scientific experiment. It may well be that most balls are affected by the temperature. Bounce is after all a question of returning the energy available at impact. The biggest factor is the proportion of the kinetic energy - the energy of motion - that is lost as useless heat. Dropping a few balls at fridge temperature and a few balls at room temperature on a hard surface, and seeing how high they bounce back would answer the question. I haven't done this experiment, but I know that trapped air increases pressure when warmed, and rubber does something strange - it can shrink not expand when warmed. If you have ever driven in a car in really REALLY cold weather, you have probably noticed the 'square wheel' effect until the tires warm up. The flat spot in the tire stays flat for a while. So that suggests a rubber case would lose more energy when cold....
