it is scientifically proven that a ball of glass bounces higher than a ball of rubber. No cause the glass would break if you drop it to high and the rubber one would not ! It depends on wether or not your counting the height the shards fly up.

Does a clay ball have bounce?
Hard and dry clay dose not
What is the world record for the biggest rubber band ball?
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world record for the biggest rubber band ball is over eight feet tall and more than 9,400 pounds. The person who created it is Joel Waul.
On powder game can you make ball go through block?
put glass over block (I would do pen size 9) then put ball in glass
Do different surfaces affect the bounce of a bsketball?
Yes. If the surface is soft the basketball will not bounce as high, but if the surface is like a gym floor the basketball will bounce extrememly well. Also you have into consideration the force of friction. The more friction the surface can produce the slower the ball will go.
What happened to the boy who died at the end of boom beach?
He was put into a cell and was made to bounce a ball in rythm, and if he doesn't, he will get hurt.
What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?
A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber one.
Does a glass ball bounce higher tha a rubber ball?
No, the glass ball would probably break. And the rubber ball allows for an elastic collision.
What Ball Would Not Bounce?
A glass ball will not bounce.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
Will a ball of steel bounce higher then a ball of glass?
yes
What is the thing that makes a rubber ball bounce?
Gravity
What makes a golf ball bounce high?

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.
Which ball bounce more tennis ball baseball cricket ball or rubber ball?
It's tennis ball.
Does heat change the bounce of a ball?
Yes, it makes the rubber ball a little softer and therefore a bit bouncier. In the cold the rubber is cold so it will not bounce as high. -competitive tennis player
Will a ball of glass bounce higher then a ball of rubber?
Yes it will. Although both balls will have the same amount of energy when they hit the ground, energy is spent trying to reform the rubber ball. The glass ball does not get deformed on contact and so it has more energy to bounce higher.The resonance of glass is higher and creates more energy from the normal force pushing back up on the glass from the ground. This also has to do with the fact that a crack in glass travels hundreds of miles per hour. See Justinsearch below for other crazy facts.I have serious doubts concerning the above. The only way a glass ball will bounce is if it falls upon a surface with some degree of elasticity. It would be the elasticity of the surface that would then propel the ball upwards. A glass ball falling any appreciable distance onto a solid granite slab will shatter, not bounce. The shatter is the result of the energy the above contributor says will make the ball bounce higher. Possibly, a ball made of extremely strong tempered glass may not shatter, depending on several factors. In such a case, the energy upon impact would crack the surface, or be absorbed by the ball and surface in the form of heat; some would be converted into noise. The reforming of the rubber ball is the very thing that propels the rubber ball upwards. If a ball were perfectly elastic, it would absorb a certain amount of energy on impact, and then it would expend all of that energy in the process of 'reforming'. A perfectly elastic ball would do this indefinitely, if you could eliminate all possible transfers of energy in the form of friction and other exotic effects. What we observe in the real world is that a rubber ball will bounce less high at each bounce because of the inevitable absorption of energy as it continues. When the ball comes to rest, it will have expended the same amount of energy that it had in potential form at the moment it was dropped. This would include some degree of heat that the ball inevitably absorbs. The energy in the glass ball is expended in the process of shattering the ball, and/or noise, heat, cracking of the surface, etc.Above are some very true points. The idea is easier to see for most when you think of a glass ball of small proportions. A small glass ball will bounce higher than a small rubber ball, and if small enough it would not crack even on a granite slab from a great height. If the ball is to be larger and heavier yes it would need to be of a "extremely strong tempered glass". "The reforming of the rubber ball is the thing that propels the rubber ball upwards" yes exactly, from the normal force of the ground. However the more reforming that is needed, the more energy is lost, for example a flat ball.
How do you inflate a rubber ball?
If it is a solid rubber ball it is not inflated. A hollow ball can be inflated. The more pressure inside, the "harder" the ball will be and the higher it will bounce. To much pressure and you risk rupturing the "rubber" bladder.
