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.


Does a Lighter or hevier ball bounce higher?

A heavier ball will typically bounce higher because it carries more momentum and energy when it hits the ground, resulting in a greater rebound height compared to a lighter ball.


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.


Will more air in a basketball make it bounce higher?

Yes. More air in the basketball will make it bounce higher. Yes. Replacing the air with even a lighter gasses, such as helium, results in a higher bounce. It follows that, removing air or using heavier gasses to inflate a ball will result in a lower bounce. YES. Adding more air to the ball lessens the particles in the ball to bounce around. Putting more air in a basket ball will definitely make it bounce higher. If you put light gasses in it like helium then it will bounce even higher. If you take air out of it, it will bounce lower.After a while of putting air in a basketball it starts to bounce lower.


Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?

rubber ball


Would a frozen golf ball bounce higher than a hot golf ball?

No, the warmer golf ball would bounce higher.


Why does a tennis ball bounce higher than a golf ball?

A tennis ball is larger and lighter than a golf ball, allowing it to store and release more kinetic energy upon impact with the ground. This results in a higher bounce compared to a denser and heavier golf ball that absorbs more of the impact energy.


What ball bounces higher a basketball or rubber ball?

It would depend on what you bounce them on and what material the bouncy ball is made of. Most surfaces and materials would mean the bouncy ball goes higher, but a few could result in the golf ball being better.


Will a basketball bounce higher than a tennis ball or will a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball?

It really depends how hard you bounce either one, but i think the tennis ball.


What will bounce higher then a rubber ball?

A superball or a bouncy ball with higher elasticity than a rubber ball would likely bounce higher due to their ability to store and release more kinetic energy upon impact.


Why do small balls bounce higher than big balls?

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.


Does a ball bounce higher on rug or floor?

higher on a hard floor...the rug will absorb the bounce
