How does the height from which a table tennis ball is dropped affect its bounce? When a table tennis ball is dropped onto a surface it bounces. The height of the bounce depends upon a number of factors; the pressure of the air in the ball, the height from which it is dropped, its material, mass and its temperature; the type of floor surface, its temperature and its angle; and the acceleration due to gravity, the temperature and the air resistance of the air that the ball will pass through. In this experiment I will investigate the way in which the height from which it is dropped affects the bounce of a table tennis ball. Planning Objects that fall vertically, without air resistance, all have the same acceleration at ground level on Earth, which is 9.80665m/s2. When the air resistance force on a free-falling object is equal to the pull of gravity, the...
