June, 2002 Suzannah Lipmann Physics Coursework An Experiment Investigating the Factors Affecting the Energy Transfer Involved In a Bouncing Ball Planning Factors affecting the energy of the ball bouncing are the height it is dropped from, the type of ball, e.g. is it bouncy or hard, the weight of the ball, and the height it is dropped from. The energy transfer is as follows: As it drops it has gravitational potential energy, and then as it is falling it has kinetic energy when it lands it has elastic potential energy and as it bounces back upwards it has kinetic energy again. Energy is also lost through heat and sound. I decided to use one type of ball, so the weight was constant. And the height it was dropped from, therefore I dropped it from a range of different heights so as to get a wide variety of results. The range was from 200 centimetres to...
