  • Factors Affecting Bounce Height: Understanding Physics & Elasticity
    No, the height of a bounce is not affected by the ball from which it is dropped. The height of a bounce is determined by the following factors:

    1) The initial velocity of the ball: The higher the initial velocity, the higher the bounce.

    2) The coefficient of restitution of the ball: This is a measure of how elastic the ball is. A higher coefficient of restitution means the ball will bounce higher.

    3) The angle at which the ball hits the ground: The closer the angle is to 90 degrees, the higher the bounce.

    4) The air resistance: The higher the air resistance, the lower the bounce.

    The type of ball does not affect any of these factors, so it will not affect the height of the bounce.
