Bouncing is a function of the elastic qualities of the ball, due to its composition. But it takes more energy to "manually bounce" a large ball because the person bouncing it is supplying the initial force (rather than just gravity). It is easier for a person to apply a large force to a lighter, smaller ball to make it bounce higher.

Do bigger balls bounce higher than small balls?
small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles
Which ball goes higher a small ball or big ball?
Because of gravity, a ball with a larger mass will take more energy to bounce than a small ball (of the same material) will, so a small one will usually bounce higher.
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.
Does lightweight ball bounce higher than a heavyweight ball?
No the mass, and therefore weight, are not greatly relevant. What matters is the elasticity.
Why does a ball bounce higher than others?
it will bounce higher if there is more air. ex. Flat basketball- being flat, the ball will just hit the floor and will be pressed inwards on the spot it landed pumped basketball- being full of air, the ball hits the ground and like a flat basketball is pressed inwards. but because there's air in it, the air will make the ball retain its shape and bounce.
Do bigger balls bounce higher than small balls?
small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles
Why do small rubber bouncy balls bounce higher than other balls?
because they are made to bounce
Why do glass balls bounce higher than rubber balls?
They don't.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
because light ball have more air in them so they bounce higher
Does a soccer ball bounce higher then a basketball?
Soccer balls. It would depend how high they came down from. As soccer balls are kicked high into the air, they probably bounce higher than basketballs which are just thrown.
Why do smaller bouncy balls bounce higher than larger bouncy balls?
Because the contrast of the balls' size as opposed to the surface it bounces off of.
What would be a good conclution for a project what ball will bounce higher?
i learned that golf balls have a little bit of weight, less than a bouncy ball witch makes them bounce higher.
Do golf balls bounce higher than most balls?
it depends on the ground. for example on gravel, the small golf ball might hit some small rocks on the side and knock them away, which reduces its energy. it also might bounce of at a very flat angle, rolling over the ground and not bouncing at all. while a larger ball like a basketball will not be affected in that way by the small stones and will jump higher than the golf ball. but on a very flat and hard surface the golfball might jump higher. but the bounce height of the basketball depends heavily on the air pressure inside it. so... there are too many factors to consider. also what does "most balls" mean?
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 ball goes higher a small ball or big ball?
Because of gravity, a ball with a larger mass will take more energy to bounce than a small ball (of the same material) will, so a small one will usually bounce higher.
Why do some tennis balls bounce higher than others?
Tennis balls die! A tennis ball is pressurized, Over time the pressure is released. = to a flat tire or basket ball.
Will a softball bounce higher than a baseball?
it depends if the softball is heavier than the baketball then no it will bounce lower. If a basketball is heavier than a softball it will bounce higher because of gravity
