Investigating the bouncing ball In this investigation I will conduct a number of experiments and collect a number of results and attempt to work out how much energy is lost by a bouncing ball in various situations. Planning Experimental Procedures In this investigation I will conduct a number of experiments and collect a number of results and attempt to work out how much energy is lost by a bouncing ball in various situations. Before I begin will make some predictions, and hopefully my results will support these predictions. My first prediction is that hollow balls will bounce higher than non-hollow balls. I think that hollow balls will always bounce higher than non-hollow ones, and that the heavier a hollow ball is the higher it will bounce. I think this will happen because the gas inside the hollow ball will be able to store some of the energy when the ball hits...
