The two main reasons are (1) the collision is inelastic and (2) friction. Both these factors reduce the ball's energy.

A ball is dropped from height of 24m. With each bounce the ball reaches a height that is half its previous bounce. How far has the ball traveled by the time it comes to rest?

72 meter


If a ball is dropped from a height of 100m each time it hits the ground it bounces 3 5ths of the height it fell How far will the ball have traveled in the 5th bounce?

89


What would be the likely height-versus-time graph if the ball were to be dropped from a height and bounced many times?

i dont knoe


How does the drop-height affect the number of times the bouncy ball bounces?

The higher the boiuncy ball is the more times if u do it with a small bouncy ball but if you do it with a big bouncy ball it will stay the same ever time u go up in height. The smaller the bouncy ball the more times it will bounce at a higher drop-height but if you try it with a big bounce ball it will still the same number of times each time you go up in inches


A ball is thrown downward at a speed of 40 meters per second from an altitude of 781 meters Approximately how long does it take to reach the ground?

At the time the ball is thrown, which is "time 0" the downward speed is 40 m/s.Each second, the downward speed will increase by 9.8 m/s.1. Work out the speed at the end of the first second. This will be 49.8 m/s.2. Then work out how many meters it would have gone in the first second.3. Now work out the ball's height. This is the height at "time 1".4. Draw the ball at time 0 and time 1 on a sheet of paper to help you think.Now, repeat steps 1-4 until the ball's height is close to 0 or goes past 0. Your current "time X" will tell you how many seconds went by for it to get that far.
