The Physics of Balls Bouncing off at Surfaces Leader: Mr. Edrian Pantas Contador‚ Love S. Members: Espiritu‚ Ian Timothy Ecube‚ Lynn Kristine Magangcong‚ Ahlya Oliman‚ Genie Rose Chapter 1 Introduction Bouncing ball physics is an interesting subject of analysis‚ demonstrating several interesting dynamics principle related to acceleration. Almost everybody‚ at some point in their lives‚ has bounced a rubber ball against the wall or floor and observed its motion. Normally

restitution will be measured between a ball and the ground. Throughout this extended experimental investigation the theory of whether or not different changing different variables can change the rate in which a ball can fall at and the height in which it bounces at. The motion of a bouncing ball can be analyzed into the motion of before‚ during and after impact of the ball contacting the surface. This investigation will analyse and break down the motions of a ball being bounced‚ into seven dynamic stages

steel‚ and a ceramic tile‚ which least affects the dynamics of a bouncing table tennis ball? Background Information: Table tennis is a ball game that can be played on any reasonably sized‚ flat‚ elevated surface. As is the case in any ball game‚ a crucial criterion to base which material to be used as a playing surface is the bounce of the ball. For any ball game to be fair to both sides‚ the playing surface must be such that the ball bounces back to a height that is as close as possible to the original

this experiment is to determine a factor that affects the height of a bouncing ball. The factor that will be investigated in this experiment would be the initial height of the ball. The relationship will be determined by altering the initial height of the ball prior to the release in order for the ball to bounce. The ball used in this experiment would be a tennis ball‚ and it will be dropped on the same surface each experiment. However‚ the initial height prior to the release of the ball will be

A hard rubber ball is dropped from rest. It falls to the concrete floor and bounces back up ALMOST to its initial height. A motion detector is mounted on the ceiling directly above the ball‚ facing down. So‚ the positive direction -- the away-from-the-detector direction -- is downward. Draw the position‚ velocity‚ and acceleration graphs. Since moving downward is a positive direction‚ is the velocity positive when the ball falls‚ 0 when it hits the ground‚ and then negative when it moves up?

If “a” value changes the graph gets wider. “a” would also change the direction the parabola faces. For example‚ if it were positive it would face up and if it were negative‚ it would face down. If “h” value changes‚ the graph can either move left or right. Meaning the graph shifts horizontally. If the value of “k” changes‚ the graph gets taller or smaller. Meaning “k”

Bouncy Ball Experiment Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the efficiency of a bouncing ball‚ and the factors which affect its efficiency. Prediction I predict that the higher I drop the ball from the higher it will rebound up‚ because it will have more gravitational potential energy the higher dropped from. As it is dropped the ball will have kinetic energy‚ and then when it hits the ground changes to heat and sound energy‚ and kinetic as it rebounds back up. The higher up

In our past experiments and observations we have found that air is in fact matter we know this because air takes up volume and mass. In the beach ball demo‚ we tested the beach ball without air and the mass was 56.1 grams and then we tested it again with air and the mass equalled up to 56.3 grams. This shows us that air takes up space. In the investigation 1.2‚ we tested 3 demonstrations. And in the second demonstration In demonstration 2 the cup was put into the water‚ upside down‚ the beaker

An Experiment to investigate how the Initial Height of which a Ball is dropped affects its Fractional Loss of Kinetic Energy Research Question: What is the relationship between initial height of a drop and the fractional loss of kinetic energy in a bouncing ball? Introduction: When an object is held at a height above the ground‚ it possesses gravitational potential energy (Ep = mg∆h) that is directly dependent of the mass and height of which the object is positioned above the ground.

BOUNCING EGG Can you Make An Egg Bounce? 1. Question: “Can you make an egg bounce?” • Yes!!!! 2. Materials: hard-boiled eggs‚ white vinegar‚ jar or large cup‚ and water. 3. Procedure: • Soak egg in white vinegar for 24-48 hours until all of the shell is dissolved. • Take the egg from the vinegar and soak it in water overnight. • Take the egg from the vinegar and pat dry with a napkin. lightly drop the egg on a table from two or three feet. 4. Result: The egg does not break
