It is better to bounce a Netball or anything in warm weather why because it is warmer and it seams to bounce higher and than when it is cold it seams to bounce less!! hope this helps with your homework.!

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.

if a rubber ball is heated up it causes the molecules' energy to increase. as a result it exerts more pressure which causes it to bounce higher. heat also make the rubber a little softer so it will give the rubber ball a higher bounce.

Technically, yes it does. When something gets cold, (heat) energy is low inside the ball. When it is warm, more energy is inside the ball. The more the energy, the more the molecules creating the ball are shaking/ vibrating. This creates friction, therefore creating the heat you feel within the ball. So when a warm ball gets bounced, the energy transfer between the ball and the surface your bouncing it on is somewhat high. The higher the energy transfer, the higher the reaction (in this case the reaction is the bounce). When you bounce a cold ball, not only are the molecules more tightly packed (it feels somewhat harder), there is less of an energy transfer, therefore less bounce. So, in theory, a warm ball should bounce higher. I don't know how big the difference is, but the answer is yes, the temperature does effect a ball's bounce.

First you must realize that a rubber ball is an elastic system. It uses elasticity to bounce. In order to have elasticity, it must be able to move around freely. When the temperature drops, the molecules slow down and do not move as much, and vice versa. You can experiment with this by freezing one bouncy ball and heating another in the microwave and seeing which bounces higher(it should be obvious). Don't put the ball in the microwave for more than 15 seconds.

A higher temperature will excite the molecules in the ball. It then becomes slightly bigger and thus will bounce higher. A lower temp. does the opposite.

How does density effect the bounce of a ball?

If the balls weight is heavy it will not bounce as high but if the ball is lighter it will have more of a Chance to bounce higher.


If you store tennis balls at a warm temperature will it affect the rebound?

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!


How do balls jump?

Balls do not jump my friend , they bounce. The effect of this bounce depends on how hard the user threw the ball , and how hard the ball itself is. E.G - If it was Low on air , it wouldn't bounce far. E.G.2 - It was hard and had lots of ait inside , it would bounce quite a bit.


Do all balls bounce?

No medicine balls do not bounce unless you throw them on a trampoline.


Does heating a rubber ball cause it to bounce higher?

There is no doubt any rubber ball will have an optimum "bounce" temperature and it is unlikely this is room temperature. it could in fact be cooler. It is well known squash balls are warmed up before being used, so it is likely warming bouncy balls up will make them bounce more.


Do bigger balls bounce higher than small balls?

small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles


When was All Balls Don't Bounce created?

All Balls Don't Bounce was created in 1994.


Does a cold rubber ball bounce?

Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.


Why do small rubber bouncy balls bounce higher than other balls?

because they are made to bounce


What effect will temperature have on the rebound height of tennis balls?

Very little


Why do tennis balls bounce lower when they get colder?

because tennis balls turn in to ice when cold, and then dont bounce.


Do tennis balls bounce?
