Investigating the Height and Bounce of Various Balls I aim to find out which factors effect the height of the bounce of a ball dropped. There are a number of factors that may influence the height of the bounce: Temperature- If heat is added to the ball then the exterior of the ball may become more malleable and soft. If the interior of the ball is air, the air molecules will expand under higher temperatures and so create a greater pressure in the ball which may in turn cause the ball to bounce higher. Type of Ball- There are many different types of ball. However, the only ones available to me are a Ping-Pong ball, a golf ball and a squash ball. They may have different surfaces, different masses, different core pressures, different angles of surface or different cores, all of which could determine the height of the bounce. Surface area- The balls may be different...
