Aim To investigate the bounce of a ball. Prediction I predict that when you decrease the height you release the ball from, the height the ball bounces back up to will remain the same. Therefore the ball height will be reduced by the same amount. Apparatus * Tennis Ball * Table tennis ball * Metre Stick * Clamp * Clamp Stand * Concrete floor Plan * I intend to change the height and measure the change in cm. * I will use the apparatus listed above to measure and carry out my investigation. * I will change the height and measure the drop of...
