When the ball hits the ground some energy is given up during the compression and decompression of the ball. The difference between bouncing it on concrete and sand. The sand almost stops the ball while the concrete bounces it back up fairly well. The sound it makes requires energy. Also gravity would rather have an object falling towards the larger mass than away.

How high does the bounciest ball bounce?

The bounciest balls are the so-called bouncy balls, made of compressed synthetic rubber. These balls have an unusually high coefficient of restitution (inverse momentum) that allows them to return to up to 92% of a dropped height, and to utilize thrown force to reach extraordinary heights. Another generic name for the balls is "super balls," originally a trademark name for a 1964 invention first sold by the Wham-O toy company in 1966.


What is the probability of getting 3 red balls from an urn in 3 picks without replacement if the urn contains 5 red 3 blue?

The probability the first ball will be red is 5/8. The probability that the first and second balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7. The probability that the first, second, and third balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7 x 3/6, or overall 60/336 (about 17.86%).
