Physics Coursework Energy Absorbed by a Bouncing Ball Aim My aim is to find out whether there is a relationship between the energy absorbed by a bouncing ball and its initial height that it was dropped from. I hope to be able to answer the following question: 'Does the initial height of the ball determine how much energy is absorbed in each bounce?' Introduction When plane designers are designing a plane they have to carry out in depth research into each feature of the plane, the materials to be made from and whether it would withstand the immense pressures in the air. A very important area that they have to look at carefully is the wheels of the plane. The wheels will have to be made out of a material that is really strong so that they can withstand the friction and weight of the plane when landing and taking off. When the wheels touch the ground...
