Planning (P) For my physics coursework, I have been asked to investigate the factors, which affect the way in which a ball will bounce. I looked into a few different factors, including height of the ball, landing surface of the ball, and in depth, the height from which the ball is bounced. I also looked at how the temperature change takes place while bouncing the ball. I took my final point further and decided to investigate the temperature of the ball while bouncing. My input variable is going to be the temperature, which I will be changing. Prediction: After doing some background research on different types of balls, I found out a reason why balls actually bounce. All balls bounce because of the air and gravity. The air makes the ball bounce. If I bounce a ball in the air, it will not stay up and bounce back down. The reason for this is...
