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.
small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles
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.
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.
No the mass, and therefore weight, are not greatly relevant. What matters is the elasticity.
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.

Small rubber bouncy balls bounce higher than other balls because they are made from materials with higher elasticity, allowing them to store and release more energy during impact. Their size and lightweight also contribute to their increased bounce height as they experience less air resistance.
Glass balls tend to bounce higher than rubber balls due to their density and hardness. Glass balls have less energy loss upon impact because they are rigid and less deformable compared to rubber balls. This allows glass balls to retain more of their original kinetic energy during the bounce, resulting in a higher bounce height.
Smaller bouncy balls bounce higher than larger ones because they have less mass and experience less air resistance when they bounce. This allows them to conserve more of their initial energy and bounce higher with each rebound.
The height of a ball's bounce is affected by its size through the conservation of energy principle. Larger balls tend to bounce higher than smaller balls due to their increased mass and potential energy, which is transferred into kinetic energy upon impact with the ground. This kinetic energy drives the ball to bounce higher.
In general, a basketball will bounce higher than a soccer ball because basketballs are designed to have higher bounce properties due to the material and construction of the ball. Soccer balls are typically designed to have less bounce to promote better control and handling during gameplay.
Yes, some balls bounce more than others due to differences in their material composition, air pressure, and elasticity. Materials like rubber typically have higher bounce compared to materials like foam. Additionally, balls with more air pressure or higher elasticity will generally bounce higher.
Tennis balls bounce higher depending on factors like their internal pressure, felt quality, and core material. New balls with higher pressure and less wear will bounce higher compared to older balls with lower pressure and more wear. The type of surface and conditions where the ball is being used can also affect its bounce height.
i learned that golf balls have a little bit of weight, less than a bouncy ball witch makes them bounce higher.
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?
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.
New tennis balls bounce higher than old tennis balls because they have more elasticity and air pressure which allows them to compress and decompress more easily upon impact with the ground. As tennis balls are used, the felt covering wears out and the air inside the ball escapes, leading to less bounce.
